No shortage of original, generic medicines, say private hospitals 27.05.2026

The Association of Private Hospitals of Malaysia (APHM) assures the public that private hospitals nationwide have sufficient stocks of both original and generic medications, reporting stable supply chains from manufacturers. Despite no immediate impact from the Middle East conflict, APHM has developed contingency plans, including enhanced inventory management and coordination with suppliers, to address potential export controls or transport disruptions. Pharmacy teams are ready to offer clinically appropriate alternatives to ensure patient care continuity. APHM advises patients to adhere to their prescribed treatments, avoid stockpiling, and consult healthcare professionals with any concerns about drug substitutions, promising prompt communication should the supply situation change.
