PETALING JAYA: The anti-viral medication, Paxlovid, would be made available soon in private hospitals, says the Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia.

Its president Datuk Dr Kuljit Singh, thanked Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, saying that the association was happy that the medication was made free for patients."However we are working with the government to make it available in private hospitals as the approval to use Paxlovid was obtained two weeks ago.

Dr Kuljit urged the public to be patient as the medication may only reach pharmacies at the earliest by end of this week or next week, with several private hospitals trying to obtain the drug from nearby public hospitals if the need arises.
