Pharmaniaga denies wielding control over healthcare system
Pharmaceutical company Pharmaniaga refutes claims that it has great influence over the country’s healthcare system. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, April 21, 2023.
“Contrary to the claims, the Health Ministry has spent approximately only 35% of its pharmaceutical spending via Pharmaniaga, with the group’s role limited to managing the logistics and distribution of the products, as well as holding the drug stockpile to the tune of RM400 million, as of December 31, 2022.
Azrul was reported as saying exclusive concessions granted to companies like Pharmaniaga have created an “unhealthy over-dependence” on them. “The concession given to Pharmaniaga is merely for the logistics and distribution of APPL products,” it said.
