The government expects to recruit more than 10,000 vaccination staff, such as GPs, pharmacists, nurses, medical students, the Malaysian Red Crescent, St John Ambulance, and community volunteers in the national Covid-19 immunisation programme.
The payment mechanism of Covid-19 patients through insurance is being refined by the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health, Bank Negara, and insurance industries, says the Chief Secretary to the Government.
Without knowing their costs, it will be difficult for the government to reimburse the costs to the private hospitals as the cost structure is very different in the private sector hospitals.
