The Social Security Organisation (Socso) has confirmed in a statement this morning that it is not engaged in any form of cooperation with MyEG Services Berhad (MyEG) in the implementation of its Prihatin Screening Programme (PSP) for Covid-19.
"Registration for the PSP can only be made through the Socso portal," it said today.
"This Covid-19 screening test is provided for free to employees and employers registered with Socso," it added.
In a statement yesterday, MyEG said it would offer itself as a one-stop portal for employers in Malaysia to manage Covid-19 screening requirements for their workforce.
Socso also denied the claim by MyEG that it is "collaborating with Socso-registered panel clinics to organise on-site screenings at employer's premises by trained medical practitioners in full compliance with the Health Ministry guidelines."
Yesterday evening Socso’s Head of Medical and Rehabilitation Dr Azlan Darus told the Malay Mail that, as the agency coordinating the mandatory Covid-19 testing for workers, Socso has never given consent to anyone to manage the services.
The PSP is a free Covid-19 screening programme for workers, both local and foreign, who are registered with Socso under the Employees’ Social Security Act 1969 and working for companies that are allowed to operate during the movement control order period. - Mkini
