Govt urged to extend RM600 allowance to all healthcare staff


JOHOR BARU: The RM600 special monthly allowance given to frontliners battling the pandemic should be extended to all government healthcare staff regardless of which patients they are attending too, says the Johor Doctor’s Association.

Its founder and president Dr Ng Kim Fong (pic) said doctors and nurses from various departments in government hospitals were being roped in to help with the pandemic, while others handling non-Covid-19 patients had to take on additional workload and responsibilities to fill in for their reassigned colleagues.
