PUTRAJAYA (April 12): Private hospitals in the country will be involved in Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme to serve as vaccination centres, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba. He said the Ministry of Health (MoH) had agreed to engage private hospitals in the immunisation programme based on the principle of vaccine equity where the government would provide free Covid-19 vaccines for all. He said private hospitals wishing to participate in the programme could register on the website of ProtectHealth Corporation Sdn Bhd at www.protecthealth.com.my beginning from today. Currently, there are 203 private hospitals in the country. On March 8, the MoH announced the involvement of private general practitioners (GPs) in the second and third phases of the immunisation programme.
