Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted general practitioners (GPs) in Malaysia, requiring them to adapt quickly to new care protocols for managing mild cases in the community.
- An online survey conducted from May to October 2022 assessed the knowledge and preparedness of 178 Malaysian GPs regarding COVID-19 management, finding that while most had a good level of knowledge (69.7%), only a third were adequately prepared.
- The study concluded that having a good understanding of COVID-19 significantly increased GPs' preparedness levels, indicating a need for targeted educational measures to enhance readiness for future pandemics.
