KUALA LUMPUR, April 7 — The government is establishing collaborations among various ministries, government agencies, non-governmental organisations and the local communities, to achieve optimal and equitable healthcare for everyone, says Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

He said the “whole-of-government, whole-of-society” approach by the government would ensure that all levels of the society had equal access to public health activities and medical services, in line with the spirit of solidarity, leaving no one behind.

“The World Health Organisation has called on global efforts to reduce health inequality gaps in order to achieve optimal health for all.

“The Ministry of Health (MOH) is always working to ensure that this can be achieved through various initiatives that have been planned and implemented,” he said in a statement today in conjunction with World Health Day 2021.

He said the Covid-19 pandemic had a deep and profound socioeconomic impact which has affected the daily lives of the people

According to Dr Noor Hisham, many countries faced daunting challenges in terms of finding the right balance between saving lives and livelihood, and Malaysia was no exception.

In this regard, he called on the public to continue to play their role by taking care of themselves and the surrounding community at all times, in line with the motto, “Kita Jaga Kita”.

“The health of every resident in Malaysia is very precious and meaningful. All parties must not be complacent, and consistently adhere to standard operating procedures as well as the preventive measures that have been recommended, as this will result in our victory against Covid-19, not only in terms of our health, but also socioeconomically” he said. — Bernama

Thank you, Tan Sri Noor for being so concerned about public health; but as President of Malaysia Medical Council, have you ever go through their investigation proceeding recordings to know how it were conducted.

Base on a 10 years old unjustified Case, investigated by Preliminary Investigation Committee II from 2010 to 2012; which consisted of a Chairman, 4 retired Doctors, 4 Secretariats and a Lawyer, they were temporary stuffs who attended only once in everyone of the 3 short meetings, 1 adjourned. Doctors only give Medical Advice, those short term inexperience stuffs would not be able to understand Medical Case, so the Chairman was the sole decision maker.

MMC and Defendant's lawyer cross-examined the complainant in 2 meetings. On the last meeting, the Defendant submitted his statements with Case Note, Medical Records, Report, which consisted of a lot of unfounded matters and incidences, resulted in a lot of discrepancies among them. MMC dismissed the Case without any enquiry.

Many attempts to justify the Case to higher authorities, failed; the Case was finally brought to the Court in 2016 and it was again dismissed in 2018. The main reason was because the Defendant was allowed to verify all the untrue incidences in those unjustified Medical Documents, in Court.

Last 2 years, the Complainant had again sent for MMC to justify; but they asked for new evidences to restart the Case with the same Bias Investigation Procedures. When there were already 20 to 30 evidences to prove Defendant's serious faults of oblivious to Patient's pain and suffering and had also conducted an inoperable operation.

The Complainant who has totally lost trust with MMC rejected; moreover, all the evidences were already proven in the Court and were complied meticulously for them. The Case could be justified just by going through it, instead of wasting another few more years.

Please justify the Case and stop inhumanity in the Hospital; so that the deceased could rest in peace.

Thank you very much

As MMC still refused to justify the Case, it was sent to Ministry of Health for investigation; but MOH sent the complain back to MMC because they said they dont have the rights to investigate Dctors in Private Hospital.

Despite of the 20 to 30 evidences proven in Court; MMC still claimed that there were not sufficient evidences to support the complainant allegation!

Alteration and addition of words in Case notes and other Medical Records were tampering of Medical Documents, and it was an offense of felony. If Doctors are allowed to change matters and incidences to rectify their false, then no investigation will be fair to the Patient.
