Instead, he said this was due to the high demand for certain medications following the spread of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 earlier and the rising cases of hand, foot and mouth disease now.However, Khairy said the situation was not nationwide as it only involved several locations and certain medicines, and he assured the public that the supply of medicines in the country was adequate.
Khairy said the Health Ministry was conducting a review with medicine manufacturers and importers to obtain detailed information on the supply of such medications apart from obtaining feedback from the Malaysian Medical Association as well as private clinics.“We will work with pharmaceutical companies on whether to provide alternative medicines or to import medicines from other countries.
Earlier, Khairy attended the presentation of medical equipment from the government of Japan through the Japan Grant Aid to the Health Ministry which was attended by Japanese Ambassador to Malaysia Takahashi Katsuhiko. "Many hospitals would be receiving the equipment and they include Hospital Kuala Lipis, Hospital Kuala Krai, Hospital Orang Asli Gombak and Hospital Jempol," he said.
