The Department of Health (DoH) is unlikely to meet its target of starting the clinical trials for the Japanese drug Avigan on Monday as there are still necessary documents that need to be accomplished.
“Nung una, sabi namin Aug. 10 tayo mag-start pero hindi pa napa-finalize ‘yung legal documents natin ,” said Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire in a press briefing.
“Inaayos nalang namin ang final arrangements, legal documents and all, and we are set to start soon ,” she furthered. “This is a donation coming from the Japanese government wherein they have provided for 100 patients,” said Vergeire.
