KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia calls for immediate action on the distress faced by some private healthcare workers who are not considered as essential services by security forces manning roadblocks and public transport stations during the lockdown from June 1 to 14.
Its president Datuk Dr Kuljit Singh said, currently, private hospitals were actively involved in the pandemic from regular walk-in testing, treating Covid-19 patients in intensive care units (ICU) and managing vaccine centres, hence, any delay at roadblocks and security checkpoints could lead to disastrous results. We fully understand that the possibility of some who will try to impersonate healthcare workers to get through roadblocks, but all private healthcare workers are equipped with letters from private hospital human resource departments or CEOs with photo-identification badges and contact numbers for verification.
