He did not rule out the possibility that the cases involved various agencies including the Ministry of Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On\u00a0whether former Health Minister\u00a0Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba would be called to help in the investigation,\u00a0 Azam said any possible action would be taken,\u00a0depending on the need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
