Pandemic Preparedness
Getting ready for the battle
The demand for antivirals, PPE and service delivery was bountiful during the COVID-19
pandemic. The COVID-19 Preparedness Committee (CPC) of PSP was formed in March 2020
to facilitate, monitor and ensure effective communication regarding the access and supply
of medicines, PPE and hand sanitizers, human resource needs, and the medicines supply
capacity of the domestic pharmaceutical industry. The committee was chaired by the Senior
Director of Pharmaceutical Services and represented by the Pharmacy Policy and Strategic
Planning Division, Pharmacy Practice and Development Division, Pharmacy Enforcement
Division, National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) and Pharmacy Board
Malaysia.
