Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Women and Children’s Hospital in Likas received a boost in its handling of Covid-19 patients with the arrival of the Mobile Negative Pressure Isolation Chamber (MNPIC), believed to be the first of its kind in Sabah.

The transportable, expandable, lightweight, easy-to-clean and sterilisable chamber worth about RM130,000 arrived at the hospital last Friday thanks to initiatives from charitable body, Osimal Foundation, in collaboration with the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA).
