Speeding Up Care For Covid-19 Patients

This week we watched videos of thousands of Covid-19 positive individuals queuing up to get assessed at Stadium Melawati and the Bandar Mahkota Cheras CACs (Covid-19 Assessment Centres). Dr Ahmad Munawwar Helmi Salim, Covid-19 Task Coordinator, at Imaret (Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia Response and Relief Team) discusses improvements to reduce the burden on CACs and the healthcare system.
