Gov't denies shortage in subsidized formula milk

CAIRO - 11 July 2017: The Cabinet's Information and Decision Support Center has denied rumors posted on a number of websites pertaining to a shortage in subsidized formula milk.

The IDSC, in a statement on Tuesday, said it had contacted the Health Ministry to verify the news, adding that it was baseless.

Subsidized formula milk is available and stocked in big quantities, the IDSC assured.

The IDSC urged citizens wishing to get subsidized formula milk to buy it from Health Ministry outlets instead of pharmacies.

Complaints are received through telephone on 02-25354150 or 16528, the IDSC said
