Covid-19: MOH might delegate powers to private doctors
February 5, 2021
KUALA LUMPUR – The Ministry of Health (MOH) is looking at delegating powers to private medical practitioners to handle COVID-19 patients.
Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said so far, private medical practitioners were not authorised to deal with COVID-19 cases and only can refer them to a government facility.

“With these delegated powers given, private facility doctors will be allowed to order high risk patients to undergo home surveillance order (HSO) and wear bracelets for monitoring.
“After completing the HSO, they can issue release orders as well as cut the patient’s bracelet,” he said in a Covid-19 State of Emergency engagement session held virtually with the media today.
