MOH acts on hospital bed issue

KUALA LUMPUR: The current usage of patient beds, including repurposed beds in hospitals, in the Klang Valley has now reached more than 85%, says Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.

He said that by taking into account the need for extra beds, especially in the intensive care unit (ICU), the Health Ministry would implement several immediate measures to address the unexpected high referral rate to the ministry’s hospitals in the Klang Valley.
