Ivermectin battle continues as health body to challenge court order Share Cape Town – The SA Health Products Regulatory Authority (Sahpra) said it would appeal the part of a high court order requiring it to report back every three months regarding access to ivermectin for use as a treatment in Covid-19 patients. This follows a victory for several parties including the ACDP, Doctors for Life, “I Can Make a Difference” group of medical practitioners, AfriForum and others in the Pretoria High Court when Judge Cassim Sardiwalla ordered that ivermectin be made available and accessible on prescription in regulated quantities. The court order was as a result of settlement agreements reached between Sahpra, the Minister of Health and the applicants in four cases.
