An old woman with Covid-19 suffered an ordeal because of MOH’s flawed policies. The 80 year old needs regular dialysis. She recently tested positive for Covid-19, which means she could not go to her usual dialysis centre. MOH advised her to go to A&E but did not make any arrangements to treat her until her condition became critical.
