KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The provision of childcare centres for children of frontline staff currently being studied by the Health Ministry (MOH) is in line with standard operating procedures (SOPs) implemented overseas.
said the SOP was reviewed through best practices implemented by the Centre for Disease Control, in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Dr Jemilah was commenting on allegations of discrimination against children of frontliners, particularly those of hospital staff at a childcare centre, where they were placed in a designated space. She also said the use of the word discrimination against children of frontliners was also seen as too harsh.
"Malaysia's healthcare services has been hailed among the best in the world. I have worked extensively in epidemic and pandemic areas. I have confidence in the Health Ministry and our health care.
