Socso’s Head of Medical and Rehabilitation Dr Azlan Darus said that as the agency coordinating the mandatory Covid-19 testing for workers, both local and foreign, has never given consent to anyone to manage the services.This morning, in a statement to Bursa Malaysia, MyEG said employees, including foreign workers, who are contributors to the Socso are eligible to have the cost of testing covered by Socso’s Prihatin Screening Programme .

“At the same time, through a partnership with a panel of Socso registered clinics, MyEG will also arrange for screening to be conducted on-site at employers’ premises by trained medical practitioners adhering fully to Ministry of Health guidelines. For workers not covered by the Prihatin Screening Programme, the cost of testing can be paid out-of-pocket,” it said in the statement.
