MELAKA: The mental well-being of healthcare workers must be prioritised, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

The Alliance for A Safe Community chairman said a study conducted by the Health Ministry's Institute for Health Behavioural Research in April 2020 discovered that 14.2% out of 6,616 healthcare workers surveyed in both public and private sectors suffered severe mental disorders during the Covid-19 pandemic.
