PETALING JAYA: General practitioners in private practice will soon be involved in administering the Covid-19 vaccine, says Datuk Seri Dr. Adham Baba (Photo).
The Minister of Health said that the Special Committee to Guarantee Access to the Supply of Covid-19 Vaccines (JKJAV) agreed to involve them in the second and third phases of the National Covid-19 Immunization program.
“The exercise will be implemented to expand access to vaccines to a wider population. It will be coordinated by Protect Health Sdn Bhd, a non-profit organization under the ministry.
“His appointment was based on his experience and ability to record, coordinate, monitor quality and manage payment to private healthcare professionals for the PeKa B40 (Skim Peduli Kesihatan kumpulan B40) scheme,” he said.
He said Protect Health’s scope of work will include registering general practitioners in the program, administering payment, conducting trainings, providing manuals and monitoring the vaccination program by general practitioners.
Interested general practitioners can register for Protect Health beginning Monday at www.protecthealth.com.my.
Adham said more information about the program will be provided from time to time.
Adham said this at a press conference in Putrajaya on the developments of the national Covid-19 immunization program.
