PETALING JAYA: There is an acute shortage of manpower at the government s district health offices (PKD) and public health clinics (KK), with staff struggling to cope with the surge of Covid-19 cases, says the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA).
MMA president Datuk Dr M. Subramaniam said PKD officers are tasked with daily Covid-19 management duties of triaging, screening, assessing, contact tracing, monitoring and home monitoring of Category 1 and 2 patients.
He said they also managed acute and chronic non-Covid-19 cases on a daily basis. The district health officers feel like they are pulled in every direction and with the surge in cases, the system is on the verge of collapse.
There will be a second wave as long as there are 1100 patients in the hospitals, the third wave will be a challenge of facilities and oxygen, a big reliance on vaccination only | હોસ્પિટલોમાં 1100 દર્દી રહે ત્યાં સુધી સેકન્ડ વેવ રહેશે, ત્રીજા વેવમાં ફેસિલિટી અને ઓક્સિજનનો પડકાર, વેક્સિનેશન પર જ મોટો આધાર
