Malaysian delegation visits MediChem

The Malaysian Deputy Minister of Health, Dr Abdul Latiffahmad, and a party of senior health officials from Kuala Lumpur made a two-day stopover in London on their way back from an international health conference in Dubai. During their stay they were given a tour of the headquarters of the London Ambulance Service and also visited some of the capital’s other key health provision organisations.

The Malaysian delegation announced a wish to visit MediChem’s factory on a fact-finding mission to look at the company’s medical hygiene and sterilisation products. The visit was in line with official approval for the supply of high-level infection control products to the Malaysian healthcare industry.

MediChem’s managing director Rick Hayman said: “The high-powered Malaysian delegation appeared to be especially interested in the company’s TriGene high-level disinfectant because the Malaysian Ministry of Health has already granted approval for our PeraScope, the endoscope sterilising solution.

“TriGene was recently approved and successfully registered at the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the Peoples Republic of China (GAQSIQPRC) as being effective against the H5N1 strain of Avian Influenza, to be used by all importing and exporting businesses at all ports of China, and approval for its use in Malaysia is imminent.”
