was developed by:
Assoc Prof Dr. James Trauer, Dr. Jamie Sziklay and
team from Monash University Sydney, Australia
Assoc Prof Dr. James Wood from University of
New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney, Australia

Office for the Western Pacific (WPRO) and, in
collaboration with WHO Country Office (Malaysia)
and MaHTAS
The aim was to capture the dynamics of COVID-19
transmission and the impact on hospital services
requirements and preparedness in Malaysia.
All meetings were conducted virtually every 2 to
