KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) is calling on the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) and relevant ministries to resolve the shortage of face masks for healthcare workers.
Its president Dr N. Ganabaskaran said some doctors had gone to the extent of recycling their masks while seeing patients and some had chosen to close their clinics because there are no face masks and hand sanitizers to protect themselves and their patients.
“The issue of face mask shortage has been highlighted since the outbreak in early February 2020, it has made national news and every citizen is aware about this. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) like face masks are a basic necessity when seeing patients who may carry this infectious disease.
“It is a requirement to provide hand rubs and face mask when seeing patients under investigation and it is indeed frustrating and not to mention unsafe not to have these items,” he said in a statement today.
He said healthcare workers in the private sector be it general practitioners, specialists, dental surgeons, nurses, pharmacists, radiographers, high-risk patients undergoing hemodialysis are all exposed to possible infection due to the inaction by the relevant ministries in addressing this issue.
Dr Ganabaskaran added, the failure to address this issue will result in higher risks of infections among patients and healthcare workers at healthcare facilities where people should feel safe.
“MMA wishes to reiterate that combating Covid-19 is a collective responsibility and not solely the responsibility of our health ministry,“ he said. — Bernama

A police source when contacted by theSun, said that there is no truth to a recorded voice message circulating on WhatsApp, that the military will hit those who are out.
“It is not true … individuals who spread such news will be tracked down and actions will be taken against them.” the source said.
Ever since it was reported that the military will be stepping in to help the police in implementing the MCO, several videos and pictures were circulated on social media showing armed personnel from other countries such as China, and Iran correcting their citizens who do not adhere to their respective lockdown measures.
The videos and photos also had captions warning that Malaysians would suffer the same fate if they fail to obey the MCO.
Earlier in the day, there was a voice message making its rounds, where a man claiming to be Malaysian Armed force personnel saying that officers will be given a baton to hit people who do not obey the MCO.
