Although hospitals are running out of beds at intensive care units to treat Covid-19 patients, the Health Minister said the government was constantly stepping up its capacity and equipment supplies to ensure every patient receives treatment.as he dismissed claims by a local doctor working on the frontlines that medical workers were forced to save equipment for only those likely to recover.
The doctor claimed on Twitter that critically-ill Covid-19 patients aged above 60 and with co-morbidities would not receive breathing aid as ventilators were reserved for younger patients with no pre-existing health conditions and are assumed to be more likely to pull through. The doctor had also claimed that the healthcare system had to work with limited resources and forced into these measures.The number of new Covid-19 infections has surpassed 4,000 in the past few days, with 4,855 cases reported on Thursday .
Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said 481 patients are being treated at intensive care units with 247 requiring breathing support. On Wednesday , Dr Noor Hisham said many hospitals had to repurpose other areas in the premises to treat critically-ill Covid-19 patients including turning normal wards into ICUs.
He actually knows nothing as he sits in his air condition office / home while the frontliners are out there battling the situation!
