There is sufficient stock of medicines to treat influenza infections at the Health Ministry’s facilities.
According to the ministry’s pharmaceutical service programme, in view of the spread of influenza in the country, the ministry has obtained additional supply of medicines from alternative suppliers to ensure adequate supply at its facilities.
"Currently, there is adequate stock of Oseltamivir 75mg capsule and Oseltamivir 60mg/5ml oral suspension to meet the treatment for influenza at the ministry’s facilities,” it said.
Symptoms of influenza include persistent high fever, cough, joint and muscle pain and sore throat. Patients can also suffer life-threatening complications such as pneumonia, meningitis and asthma attacks if they do not seek treatment early.
Meanwhile, Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah (below), in a statement today, said the pneumonia cluster that hit Wuhan, China, was still under investigation.
He said the Chinese authority, however, had confirmed that the infection was not influenza infection, avian flu, adenovirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS) or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
"The World Health Organisation (WHO) notified that the incident was being properly monitored, but in the meantime, they did not issue any prohibition on visiting and trading with China," he said.
He said the ministry is taking the matter seriously and will continue to monitor the situation.
The ministry has taken several measures to prevent the spread of the disease, namely:-
- To inform all ministry officers, including at the exit to the country, on the cluster incident, as well as measures to prevent infection.
- Emphasise and strengthen existing fever screening activities among travellers by officers on duty at the country’s exit.
- Any traveller detected of having fever and experiencing symptoms, to be sent for a check-up at the health quarantine centre.
- Screening at the emergency department of health clinics and hospitals is enhanced for suspected cases.
- The Health Ministry will continuously work together with all relevant agencies to enhance its preparedness and response in facing the potential spread of the disease in the country.
According to WHO, as of yesterday, a total of 59 cases identified in China were related to the cluster incident, with seven cases reported to be serious.
No death has been reported and there has also not been any human to human transmission.
Investigation is still underway and a total of 121 close contacts of the patients were detected and put under surveillance.

Après 5 ans de relation avec mon petit ami, il a soudainement changé et a cessé de me contacter régulièrement. Il proposait des excuses pour ne pas me voir tout le temps. Il a cessé de répondre à mes appels et à mes sms et il a cessé de me voir régulièrement. J'ai ensuite commencé à le rencontrer avec différentes amies de filles, mais à chaque fois, il disait qu'il m'aimait et qu'il avait besoin de temps pour réfléchir à notre relation.
