PETALING JAYA: Health experts have urged the government to make the cost of Covid-19 testing transparent as Malaysians deserve to know what they are paying for.
This is especially so with many varying prices from healthcare institutions.
Malaysian Pharmacists Society president Amrahi Buang said transparency is the key to avoid confusion and curb profiteering.
“The prices for Covid-19 testing must be made known to the public. The government has the authority to execute this, especially now that we are in an Emergency. Once the price has been worked out with the test kit providers, it should be made public,” he said.
PETALING JAYA: Businesses are calling on the authorities to postpone the enforcement of the Covid-19 screening of foreign workers in six high-risk states, claiming that there are delays due to a shortage of test kits in panel clinics and hospitals.
