SOME RM1.6mil worth of medical devices including the GEM Premier 5000, an automated blood testing machine, were handed over to the High Dependency Ward (HDW) and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Penang Hospital by the Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association (MSIA).

Its president Datuk Seri Wong Siew Hai said the association hoped that the devices would help the hospital cope with the local spike in Covid-19 cases recently.
