Goed nieuws uit The Nation van vandaag: de hoeveelheid Oseltamivir (Thaise Tamiflu) wordt snel verhoogd:
GPO to raise Oseltamivir stockpile to 55 million doses
The Government Pharmaceutical Organisation has decided to increase its stockpile of anti-viral Oseltamvir from 15 million to 55 million doses.
Doctor Wichai Chokwiwat, chairman of the GPO board of directors, said the GPO initially planned to increase the stockpile by 10 million more but later decided to increase the stockpile by 40 million more doses instead.
Wichai said the GPO reached the decision on ground that it expected the drug would be needed in huge amount of doses and the GPO feared that the prices of the chemicals for making the drug would increase so it decided to produce the 40 million more doses right away.
