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 Ping 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 and the practices of good governance.

She said Pharmaniaga subsidiary Pharmaniaga Logistics Sdn. Bhd. has experience in the supply and logistics of medical products, which is on par with international logistics companies such as DKSH and Zuellig Pharma. She said the government had agreed with the proposal to give PLSB a fresh ten-year Medicines Supplies Logistics Service concession, given the company’s performance. Under the concession, the company will manage the logistics and supply network for medicines to MOH facilities.
