SHAH ALAM: The Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in (HTAR) Klang has decided to return 80 units of the oxygen concentrator devices that were loaned by the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) Covid-19 Quarantine and Treatment Centre (PKRC).

       These machines will be returned following the declining number of Covid-19 patients at the hospital, said HTAR in a Facebook post.

       “Thanks to MAEPS PKRC 2.0, especially to its director, Dr Shahabuddin Ibrahim, for lending 80 units of Oxygen Concentrator machines to HTAR during the ‘disaster’ period,” the statement said.

       As such, it said the logistics division of the Malaysian Armed Forces would review the need for the equipment for use in other states where there is an increase in patient admissions.

       On Wednesday, Bernama reported that the number of daily admissions of Covid-19 patients at HTAR had dropped by more than 50% the past week.

       HTAR director Dr Zulkarnain Mohd Rawi said the hospital previously received about 400 cases of Covid-19 patients daily, but the number had decreased to around 170 patients recently. — Bernama
