PUTRAJAYA, April 17 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Health (MOH) has assured that the country’s medical device supply remains stable and under control through close monitoring and continuous mitigation measures despite the global energy crisis.
This is further strengthened by a strategic agreement between the Medical Device Authority (MDA) and Chinese authorities to enhance the supply of raw materials such as resin and naphtha for use in the local industry.
“This initiative aims to stabilise the supply chain and ensure the continuity of critical medical device production in Malaysia.
“The additional supply will serve as a key catalyst in addressing current raw material shortages to meet the needs of the national healthcare system,” the ministry said in a statement today.
It added that the Malaysian government expresses its highest appreciation to the Chinese government for its strong commitment in supporting the stability of the regional medical device raw material supply chain.
“MOH will continue to closely monitor the situation and ensure that supply distribution is carried out efficiently and prudently, based on clinical needs for the well-being of the people,” the ministry said.
