Britain will leave the European Union with or without a deal on October 31, says British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Now, some health professionals are saying that leaving the EU without a deal could increase medicine shortages in both the EU and Britain. Britain’s food and drink organization warned last week that the country could also have shortages of some fresh foods if there is a no-deal Brexit. Pharmaceutical companies have said the same. They are worried about the availability of some medicine. Some have organized flights to bring in supplies if needed. A shortage of medical supplies could also occur beyond Britain. EU countries receive about 45 million containers of medicines from Britain every month. But some drugs might not have the required regulatory approval in time to be imported from Britain.
