Penghantaran ubat melalui pos percuma mulai 1 Okt, kata menteri

Komunikasi Menteri Fahmi Fadzil announced the new initiative to provide free drug delivery through the mail, starting from October 1, according to the SKMM. The program will be carried out nationwide using funds amounting to approximately RM5 million. "Previously, patients had to pay for drug delivery via mail, but starting October 1, everyone involved will not have to pay, and the government will fully cover the cost through SKMM," Fahmi stated.

He spoke to journalists after reviewing the Persada project, which aims to connect health systems digitally, at the Padang Besar Health Clinic today. Deputy Director-General of the Communications Ministry Abdul Halim Hamzah and Perlis Health Director Dr Ghazali Chik also attended. In May, Fahmi reportedly said the government would fully cover the costs of drug delivery to approximately 80,000 patients per month through the Drug Delivery via Mail Program (UMP), a collaboration between SKMM and KKM.
