Summary/Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic has put public health systems in all countries to the test, escalating endemic health policy problems of access to treatment and medications. This article presents an overview and typology of public health crises caused by drug shortages and presents an approach to mitigate and resolve them through the public communications. Based on an empirical study conducted by the author on 1,477 patient alerts collected through an online platform developed by the author, data on the causes of shortages and the possibilities of solving them through improved public communications are summarised.
