PETALING JAYA: Amid the upsurge of Covid-19 cases in the Klang Valley, the Health Ministry has announced a financial and morale booster for its resource-strapped hospitals, with a special payout for ICU staff, daycare centres for frontliners’ children and purchase of additional healthcare equipment.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba (pic) said although the ministry has already spent RM700mil nationwide, further allocations including RM100mil will be allocated especially to outsource non-Covid-19 cases to private hospitals in order to free up more beds in public hospitals.
