PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has urged the government to collaborate with private healthcare facilities in its fight against Covid-19 in order to ease the strain on public facilities.

Its president Prof Datuk Dr Subramaniam Muniandy (pic) said this is also to help the survival of the private healthcare sector as many struggle to remain afloat as its facilities recorded fewer patients since the start of the MCO in March.
