Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia, there were 484,895 new COVID-19-infected patients between June to August 2021 in Klang Valley and 77.6% warranted hospital admissions. About 1800 patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on regular dialysis were admitted during this period. This has resulted in a severe shortage of beds and haemodialysis (HD) staff in public hospitals, where the majority of COVID-19 patients were admitted. We initiated a pioneer public-private partnership where stable COVID-19-infected HD patients were discharged earlier than 14 days and HD sessions arranged at a private facility (DWM) nearby, with funding from the Ministry of Health Malaysia.
