Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil announced that the Malaysian government will begin fully funding medicine deliveries by post starting October 1. The initiative will apply nationwide and receive approximately RM5 million in funding.
Previously, patients paid for postal delivery of their medications. The government, through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM), will now cover those costs. Fadzil made the announcement while visiting a health clinic in Padang Besar, Perlis, alongside ministry officials.
The program will serve around 80,000 patients each month through a collaboration between SKMM and the Ministry of Health.
