The MoU will take immediate effect with GDM extending health, preparedness and community health advisory to hoteliers, with an added option of a complete corporate health solution. Part of the highlight of the MOU includes current preparedness advisory supporting Malaysian hotels in dealing with the spread of the Covid-19 novel coronavirus, ensuring hotels are safe for tourists. “While MAH had been actively supporting member hotels since the very beginning of the situation, we want to further enhance hotels’ preparedness with professional healthcare support and Global Doctors is the best partner to work with,” said Kamaruddin Baharin, President of MAH. GDM’s medical services covers primary and secondary care, ambulatory care, emergency medical services, vaccination clinics, corporate healthcare management services as well as tertiary network referral services over its network of centres and clinics in Malaysia, China, Indonesia and Thailand. “The tourism industry is susceptible to the impact of global health crisis first-hand.
