Thailand's Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) approved the Public Health Ministry's proposal to procure 50,000 courses of Merck's anti-viral Molnupiravir drug, pending final cabinet approval.
The drug's high price of US$712 per five-day course has drawn criticism, with analyses indicating production costs are substantially lower, leading to accusations of profiteering.
