Qualitas Medical Group has spearheaded efforts in detecting COVID-19 in the country through various approaches including on-site screening, walk-in clinics, as well as home sampling. As part of nationwide efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19, the government has made it compulsory for all employers to send their foreign workers for the Covid-19 screening test, through clinics with subsidised RTK-Antigen testing kits.
Qualitas, in collaboration with the Social Security Organisation (SOCSO) under Program Saringan Prihatin (PSP) initiative has established a Public-Private Initiative (PPI) called Aggregated Screening Centres (ASC). This provides a one-stop-centre for all eligible foreign workers (FW) to undergo the Covid-19 RTK-Antigen screening procedure.
