Malaysian Medical Association president Dr Subramaniam Muniandy says information on bed occupancy from the ground does not correspond with the health ministry's figures. FMTNews Covid19 Sabah

The Sabah government recently said that 99.5% of beds reserved for Covid-19 patients in the state were occupied.

He called on the ministry to present a breakdown of the statistics, as higher bed usage at hospitals, quarantine centres and the ICU in red zones could be masked by reduced occupancy at other centres. Subramaniam said it was impractical to utilise ICU beds at hospitals in other districts, as it was difficult to transport a critically ill Covid-19 patient on respiratory assistance without putting others and the patient at risk.

“MMA suggests that the ministry pool these items that were procured during the first and second waves in other parts of the country and mobilise them to be sent to Sabah immediately for use during this outbreak, and use the emergency funds to purchase other equipment and machines required which are not available.
