Chief executive officer Dr Anas Alam Faizli said the move was to facilitate the public in getting their vaccine shots at private clinics or hospitals near their homes and to expand the country's vaccination capacity.
"As such, the participation of more private facilities, whether in the urban or rural areas, will make it easier for the public to get vaccinated without having to travel far," he said in an online interview last night. "ProtectHealth aims to increase the number of private medical practitioners to between 2, 000 and 3, 000 before the end of August," he said.
The increased participation of private clinics and hospitals in PICK before the end of August is also to meet the daily vaccination target of 400, 000 doses as announced by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin earlier, he said.
