PETALING JAYA: The shortage of certain types of medicine, especially for fever, cough, cold and sore throat has become acute, says the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA).

Its president Dr Koh Kar Chai said the situation has worsened with the increase in Covid-19 cases due to the Omicron variant as well as relaxation of standard operating procedures, including the reopening of borders.
