KUALA LUMPUR – The World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) will offer its facilities and services as a vaccination centre to support the government to vaccinate 70% of the nation’s population.
Its executive director, Datuk Seri Irmohizam Ibrahim, said the decision to provide the space is in line with the national inoculation plan scheduled to begin this month.
He said WTCKL, formerly known as Putra World Trade Centre – with a capacity of 13,456 sq m, comprising five halls and 19 multi-purpose rooms – is sufficient to assist the process.
According to him, WTCKL is a very strategic location to be used as a vaccination centre because it offers ample space with facilities, such as parking and different entrances, and has a waiting area and vaccination zone.
“We aim to reduce the burden of public health facilities and ensure that the recovery process runs smoothly.”
He said the initiative is also expected to help health centres reduce overhead and logistics costs by offering the use of WTCKL space as a place to store the shots, health equipment and medical supplies. – Bernama, February 3, 2021
