CORONAVIRUS | The Health Ministry is recalling its retired doctors and nurses to reinforce the current frontliners in the face of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah told a press conference today that they are targeting to reach 2,000 skilled healthcare professionals to assist as soon as possible.
"We are in the process of looking how we can increase human resources, including nurses and doctors.
"What is important now, we are looking at those who already have the experience like nurses and specialists who have retired. They can help us.
"We are also in the process of enhancing our equipment," he said during a press conference on Covid-19 in Putrajaya today.
