The ministry had already said through a statement that if there is a problem, they can contact the toll free number of the ministry and get help. If the family does not have the financial means to buy medicines from outside, they can apply for assistance to the social security unit and get help, but the patients are not able to use that service. According to the ministry, 129 people were injured during the demonstration and 13 people underwent emergency surgery. The ministry does not have the official details of how many people received what treatment and how much is being spent. Two people died in the incident.
