The Health Ministry will soon begin clinical trials, in collaboration with the World Health Organisation, to test various medications to treat Covid-19 patients.

Health Ministry director-general Noor Hisham Abdullah said the Health Ministry will start with a clinical trial to test the effectiveness and safety of Remdesivir, a drug originally developed for Ebola patients, to treat Covid-19 patients.

He said this is part of the World Health Organisation's (WHO) Solidarity Trial, an international effort to test a combination of medications on Covid-19 treatment.

"The research, coordinated by the WHO across the globe, is an effort to gather data and compare the safety and effectiveness of a combination of medicine comprising Remdesivir, Lopinavir/Ritonavir, Interferon beta, Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine," he told a press conference in Putrajaya today.
