00:00Can you confirm if in Malaysia we have a shortage of insulin in government hospital and clinics?
00:08Short question.
00:09Yeah.
00:10You have come to know that, you know, because one of our, one of our two providers and Makar
00:20not able to meet to the contractual obligation, we would be facing a shortage.
00:28However, you know very well that we have other means or other alternatives, particularly
00:34on our insulin analogs and as well the inhibitors, plus as well the oral hypoglycemic drugs or
00:41agents that are already, that are also available.
00:44But you know very well why they are on human insulin or insulin.
00:48Therefore, you know, if they are no longer amenable to oral hypoglycemic, they're going
00:54to be on insulin, right?
00:56So what we want to make sure is despite the failure to fulfill the contractual obligation,
01:03we are now talking to them again to ensure that they will have, they will have to provide
01:09better.
01:10It is coming from the Johor, but besides that, also coming from India.
01:19So we are in communication with the Indian principal, Biocon forces.
01:26So we must supply it, whether it's coming locally or overseas.
01:31So be that as it may, apapun kita tidak mau shortage ini, kan menyejaskan patient care.
01:39If truly there are shortages, I have not heard for it.
01:42For now, they have been reducing by way of supplies, but no one, as far as I'm concerned,
01:49is already, is already not having apapun kita tidak been prescribed over human insulin.
01:55But the minute there will be one, there will be a, you know, we will be informed.
02:00But as I said again, you have the analogs, you have the inhibitors, you have the oral
02:04hypoglycemic to replace human insulin.
02:06Yeah, we are also again looking at alternative supplies, suppliers.
02:11Already we are in communication, but this is, it's unfortunate that this has happened,
02:17but we have already taken quite some time back into talking to suppliers.
02:22Yeah, but I wouldn't want to believe that we will be in a crisis situation of sorts,
02:29but because we have other alternatives and we are getting the other suppliers soonest.
02:35I, we are, okay, for, you know, you know very well that even if they are coming from overseas,
02:42then they've got to, you know, they've got to put in the doses and whatever.
02:46We will go on a fast track on this.
02:4860 days.
02:4960 days, as opposed to a few months, you know, originally, ataupun seladunya.
02:55So we will go on a fast track to expedite, you know, the NPRA's registration of their
03:02human insulin sources.
03:04This is other, other, other suppliers.
03:07Actually, the current supply of the human insulin, is it totally depleted or how long
03:12it can be?
03:13No, no, it's not, it's not that kind of scenario, the alarming scenario by some media.
03:17How long does it last based on the current?
03:19They are, in fact, they could last until what, end, end of the year.
03:25But meanwhile, we will continue to get other suppliers.
03:29So although, it's good lah, they raise this up, because we were also, you know, looking
03:34at it already, not that we are aloof, you know.
03:37Bukan kita tidak tahu, kita sentiasa memantau, cuman kita tidak dapat pembekal yang lain.
03:43So we are already negotiating.
03:45Now that we've gotten the commitment of others, we said, you put in your dose here, your
03:50permonat, we will expedite NPRA's registration.
