Clarity in naming matters. Patients must not be allowed to believe they are being treated by a doctor when they are not. Doctors must always lead the team. This is about making sure patients get the care they need when they need it. Tales of missed opportunities abound

@medwma calls on the U.S. government to ensure the continuation of essential medical and humanitarian aid during the 90-day pause on foreign assistance. ➡️See press release https://t.co/YaAw2HCGSH. . #globalhealth

This problem will continue to recur so long as government regulates fees without providing for regular increases proportional to inflation

I don’t mind elected representatives being vaccinated, because in this country they meet lots of people and don’t seem to understand the SOPs. Remember Sabah elections. I do draw the line at their wives, mistresses and offspring, though.

The people see that the ministers break the laws with impunity. They are angry. The government’s answer? Make ministers obey the law? No! Change the law for ministers! Brilliant!

I don’t mind managing Covid 19 cases. If only it could be done without looking like a clumsy clown

Hope governments agree on a common format Vaccine passports: what are they and do they pose a danger to privacy?

If the government forces private hospitals and doctors to do things without consulting, Malaysia will soon have a collapse of the private healthcare sector. We want to help, but we also want to be heard

Sorting all this out takes time. With due respect, MOH officials have little idea of the constraints the private sector operates under. Start talking now, so we can start jabbing as soon as the vaccines arrive.

Private hospitals will want to make sure operations continue smoothly- so they will vaccinate in batches, in case of unforeseen adverse effects. Each hospital will have its own preferences. The same goes for private clinics.

It is imperative that we start laying out in detail how distribution will be done immediately. For instance, a private hospital may have a thousand frontliners, but it’s unlikely they will want to vaccinate them all at once.

The government has pledged to vaccinate all 18+ year olds. We understand front-liners will be first, and that this includes private sector workers as well. Data is being collected.

Good news! This is the first step. Now we must concentrate on distribution once supplies arrive. @Abraham60373150 @drarasu71 @DrAmarMOH @drmornias @DGHisham

Public health officials try to close private clinics for two weeks if one patient who visited them later tests positive. Factories with many positive cases remain open, and only contacts are tested - not the whole workforce. Double standards?

As someone who was briefed when the contract system was proposed, @malaysianmedic1 was assured that at the end of the contract, ALL the doctors would be absorbed into service. What happened, @KKMPutrajaya @DrAdhamBaba @DGHisham ?

Despicable behaviour, which I hope receives exemplary punishment. We need to ensure this sort of behaviour doesn’t spread. Dr. Berms will recover physically, but mental anguish and uncertainty will last longer #NotATarget

I think every state should have one rep in MMC so local issues can be raised. Perlis and WP don’t have the same concerns @DrAdhamBaba @boosulyn @DGHisham

Be open, especially now when trust is crucial. Surely the public interest outweighs any need for secrecy
