Bekalan ubat di klinik, hospital di Johor mencukupi

KLUANG: Bekalan ubat di hospital dan klinik kerajaan di Johor masih mencukupi bagi menampung keperluan pesakit pada ketika ini.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kesihatan dan Perpaduan Negeri Johor, Ling Tian Soon berkata, fasiliti kesihatan itu tidak mengalami kekurangan bekalan ubat biarpun terdapat beberapa farmasi di negeri berkenaan dilaporkan mengalami kekurangan ubat tertentu.

"Sejak dua bulan lepas memang kita dapati banyak kes influenza ataupun demam panas. Oleh itu, permintaan ubat di pasaran memang tinggi.

"Namun di klinik kesihatan ataupun hospital kerajaan, walaupun permintaan tinggi tetapi bekalan (ubat) masih terkawal dan boleh menampung keperluan masyarakat.

"Tetapi saya difahamkan sebahagian farmasi menghadapi masalah kekurangan bekalan ubat, terutamanya melibatkan farmasi-farmasi kecil.

"Keadaan ini berpunca daripada pihak pembekal yang mengalami kekurangan bahan untuk penghasilan ubatan" katanya ketika ditemui selepas menghadiri Majlis Penyerahan Bas Klinik Kesihatan Bergerak di Simpang Renggam, di sini pada Sabtu.

Menurut Ah Soon, biarpun negeri itu menerima jumlah kes influenza yang tinggi, namun terdapat penurunan jangkitan kes berkenaan pada ketika ini.

Berdasarkan trend itu, jelas beliau, bekalan ubat masih boleh menampung jumlah pesakit baharu dan yang sedia ada.
