PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry has sounded the alarm as government hospitals around the Klang Valley are running out of beds at intensive care units (ICUs) to treat critical Covid-19 cases.

In a series of posts, Dr Noor Hisham explained how the public health care system is struggling to manage the load of critical Covid-19 cases.

“Hospital Sungai Buloh, Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Hospital Ampang, Hospital Serdang, Hospital Selayang and Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah are already over 70% capacity with some of them almost hitting 100%," he said. He said hospitals in the Klang Valley were also forced to reduce or postpone surgeries and other elective procedures to prioritise treatment for Covid-19 patients.
