KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin visited the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) 2.0 integrated hospital near here this evening.
The prime minister arrived at about 5.20pm, and was accompanied by Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba to attend a closed-door briefing by Selangor Health director Datuk Dr Sha’ari Ngadiman.
After the briefing, Muhyiddin met with patients at the MAEPS 2.0 low-risk Covid-19 quarantine and treatment centre, before touring the hospital.
The integrated hospital will begin operations on January 24, with an aim to stabilise Covid-19 patients in categories three, four and five before they are sent for intensive treatment to another hospital.
It will also take in patients from the low-risk treatment centre, whose cases suddenly escalate to categories three, four and five.
The hospital located in Hall B will provide the same facilities as other hospitals, and is equipped with 30 beds for patients in categories three and four.
Outside the hall, a tent with 10 beds has been erected for transit cases at the intensive care unit.
The low-risk treatment centre will also receive Covid-19 patients in categories one and two, who have recovered from categories three, four and five, as well as patients from Johor, Melaka, Negri Sembilan and the Klang Valley. – Bernama, January 19, 2021
