Pharmaniaga's status won't affect medicine distribution to Health Ministry, says Dr Zaliha

KUALA LUMPUR: Pharmaniaga Bhd’s Practice Note 17 status does not affect its logistics arm’s service in distributing medicines to the Health Ministry’s facilities, says Dr Zaliha Mustafa.

In a Parliamentary written reply to Tan Hong Pin (PH-Bakri) dated June 6, Dr Zaliha said the ministry was made to understand that the PN17 status imposed on Pharmaniaga was due to accounting streamlining that had to be done according to the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) and the practices of good governance.
