SEPANG: While pharmacies and private clinics are experiencing a “slight shortage” of some types of medicines, Malaysia’s public health facilities have ample stock, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

However, to ensure supply is not disrupted, the Health Ministry “will explore new sources for medicine supply”, including from countries we have not bought from previously, the minister said after attending the World Food Safety Day here yesterday.
