‘We’ll focus on screening high-risk groups’

KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry will not screen every person above the age of 50 for now as suggested by one of the eight Chinese health experts who came to Malaysia recently, says Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The Health director-general said the ministry would continue to focus and increase the screening involving high-risk groups, in addition to influenza-like illness and Severe Acute Respiratory Infection cases and asymptomatic surveillance in pre-operation cases.
