The university hospital says it sent documents related to salary payment for contract medical officers to Sungai Buloh Hospital’s human resources division on April 10.
An estimated 30 contract medical officers from UMMC, HUKM, and HUSM -- who performed Covid-19 work at Sungai Buloh Hospital -- have yet to receive their April and May salaries ahead of Hari Raya.
The public health team at UMMC's Covid-19 Crisis Command Centre tirelessly conducts contact tracing activities, risk assessments, and performs symptoms surveillance for our hospital health care workers.
If a health care worker gets Covid-19 from a colleague, it is not considered an occupational disease, but a community-acquired sickness, says a Universiti Malaya expert.
