Covid-19: MOH aims to ramp up capacity to 200,000 tests per day — Health DG

KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 5): The Ministry of Health (MOH) aims to increase the capacity of Covid-19 tests in laboratories nationwide to 200,000 tests a day, says Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
He said although the 68 laboratories currently conducting the tests had reached 100% capacity with over 76,000 tests a day, there were still private laboratories, laboratories at university hospitals and Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) hospitals that could help increase the capacity.
With a unified command centre, besides the fact that we can move our patients to the hospitals, it is important for the laboratories at these hospitals to help increase the number of tests to 150,000 to 200,000 per day so that we can test more samples, he said during an engagement session with the media on COVID-19 here today. ....
