It was reported in the media on October 14, that the occupancy rate of the 1,018 beds accross nine Covid-19 hospitals in Sabah had reached 71 per cent. Four in 10 coronavirus patients placed in some form of facility in Sabah are ill enough to require hospitalisation. Funds will be needed for an increasing demand for Personal Protective Equipment , medical equipment, additional ventilators, quarantine centres, transportation of medical equipment as well allowances for volunteers who will be working round the clock.
Better coordination among all agencies on the ground is also needed. The State Crisis Command Centre should be enhanced to ensure better coordination of all activities so that the needs of the state are met on all fronts and that all help from NGOs and public is well coordinated to assist the state’s efforts.
To assist efforts in Sabah, MMA’s Sabah branch together with the Malaysian Medical Association Foundation has recently launched a Sabah Covid-19 fund where all proceeds will be used for healthcare equipment, medical supplies, Personal Protective Equipment and other related Covid-19 relief.
