The Public Health Ministry said on Tuesday there are sufficient favipiravir pills in stock and it will procure more anti-viral tablets ahead of the Songkran festival next month, after the Rural Doctor Society (RDS) complained about a shortage of anti-Covid drugs.
Sirikul Matevelungsun, deputy managing director of the Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO), said on Tuesday 110 million favipiravir pills were kept in stock. Of them, 80 million were and are being delivered to hospitals that need them for Covid-19 patients.
