Hisham: Over one million AstraZeneca vaccine doses received from Saudi Arabia

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has received a million doses of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine and over 4.5 million units of medical supplies of various types from Saudi Arabia worth almost RM21.14mil (USD$5mil), says Senior Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

"On behalf of Malaysia, I extend our deepest appreciation and gratitude to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for ensuring that the contribution arrived only days after His Majesty King Salman Abdulaziz Al Saud decreed that the King Salman Centre for Relief and Humanitarian Action (KSRelief) provide urgent assistance to aid our country in facing challenges posed by the pandemic, including medical supplies," said Hishammuddin.
