PETALING JAYA: Private hospitals in major cities have their hands full treating non-Covid-19 patients, which raises concern if Covid-19 cases continue to increase, says Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia (APHM) president Datuk Dr Kuljit Singh.

Currently, he said, patients admitted at private hospitals might have to wait a whole day in order to get a bed.
