The three - the Malaysian Society of Anaesthesiologists, College of Anaesthesiologists, and the Malaysian Society of Intensive Care - said discussions were being held between stakeholders from the Health Ministry and the Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia to further outline strategies for the involvement of the private sector in handling Covid-19 patients in various stages of their illness.
As such, the associations proposed for the management of the critically-ill and semi-urgent non-Covid-19 cases to not be sidelined, although the focus was on managing Covid-19 patients. "Their medical care continues while ICU beds are sourced out in public hospitals. The previous ease at which intensive care beds are made available is no longer a reality. As such, it is imperative for private hospitals to prepare for this eventuality with urgency," they said.
