He said this was based on the existing number of MAF healthcare personnel. Although the MAF currently has three field hospitals, namely in Tawau, Sabah; Kapit, Sarawak; and Kepala Batas, Penang; we are capable of setting up two more field hospitals. Actually, the MAF can set up more field hospitals, but to do that, we will require additional staff, namely 30 doctors and 100 paramedics, ” he said at a virtual media conference after a working visit to Pharmaniaga LifeScience in Puchong here Sunday (May 23).
Ismail Sabri said that with the additional personnel, the MAF would be able to construct more field hospitals as well as add other health equipment and supplies for the management of Covid-19.
