Covid-19 self-test kit: Revision of price cap must not be done in haste, says minister

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21 — The proposal to lower the ceiling price of the Covid-19 self-test kit must be studied by taking into account the interests of all parties and cannot be done in haste, the Dewan Rakyat was told.

“The KPDNHEP will continue to hold engagement sessions with the Ministry of Health , taking into account the views of all stakeholders, as well as the production and import costs, before the decision to lower the price is made,” he said during the Minister's Question Time today. Earlier last month, KPDNHEP set the maximum retail price for a set of Covid-19 self-test kit at RM19.90, while the wholesale price was set at RM16 effective Sept 5.
