Expert: Sabah healthcare system not collapsing


KOTA KINABALU: A local medical observer has assured Sabahans that the state’s overstretched health facilities battling the Covid-19 spike are not in danger of collapsing despite the daily three-digit rise in numbers and recent deaths.

Contrary to growing concerns about the state’s healthcare ability to meet the three-digit increases since Oct 1, UMS Senior Public Health Medicine Specialist and Head of Public Health Unit Datuk Dr Mohd Yusof Ibrahim said that the healthcare system was still functioning and coping with the surge in cases.
