-----------------------
Malezijci moraju dobiti redovite stomatološke kontrole
KUALA LUMPUR: Adult Malezijci bi trebao dobiti stomatološke periodičnih provjera jednom ili dvaput godišnje, a djeca bi ih trebali dobiti svakih šest mjeseci za rano otkrivanje stomatoloških problema bilo, rekao je Kuala Lumpur zamjenik direktora za zdravstvo (Dental), dr. Ahmad Bujang.

Dr. Ahmad je komentirajući izjavu ministarstva zdravstva je viši direktor Zdravstvo (Dental), Datuk dr. Norain Abdul Talib, Stu 15 navodeći da samo 6% odraslih osoba od 28 milijuna Malezijci koriste državne zubarske usluge i pol od taj postotak bude škola.
Na pitanje hoće li troškove liječenja bio je među razlozima odrasli nisu dobili zubarske usluge, dr. Ahmad je rekao da nije bio glavni faktor.
Kazao je kako ljudi ne bi trebali gunđati o visokim troškovima kao sada oni mogu dobiti tretman u cijeloj zemlji kako za nisko kao RM1.
"Na vlasti stomatološke usluge, cijene nije faktor u osiguravanju Malezijci dobiti stomatološke čekove kao naknadu naplaćuje za stomatološke provjerava je samo RM1 a za punjenje je samo RM2," rekao je.
Osim toga ne postoji termin za državne zubarske usluge i to može biti je dobio u bilo kojoj od 615 stomatološke klinike diljem zemlje.
Ljudi u Kuala Lumpuru mogu dobiti usluge na 14 klinika u Putrajaya, Cahaya Bosna, Cheras Baru, Tun Razak Bandar, Bangsar, Petaling Bahagia, Tanglin, Jinjang, Sentul, Batu, Keramat, Setapak, Kampung Pandan i obuku policije (Pulapol) u Jalan Semarak.
Kroz promatranje odrasle osobe, njihovu svijest o stomatološke zdravstvene zaštite mogu biti manje u odnosu na djecu kao potonji dobili više izloženosti stomatološke zdravstvene zaštite u školi.
Kao primjer, Kuala Lumpur Dental Service on provodi kampanju stomatološke zdravstvene zaštite kroz Pripravnik učitelja Dental Health programa.
Među aktivnosti u kampanji bili su stomatološke provjere i razgovore, te radionica za pripremu planova za dnevne obrazovanja i uloge igraju se odnose na zdravlje zuba.
Kroz kampanju, pripravnik učitelji su izloženi važnost zdravlja zuba i postati djelotvoran agenata u promovira ga među studentima. To se razlikovao od odraslih koji ga je uzeo olako i samo ići u kliniku, kada problem je kritična.
Ovo mišljenje je podržao predsjednik malezijske kod stomatologa udruge, dr. Jaspall Singh, koji je rekao bilo je ljudi koji su odbili da dođu na liječenje kao svojih problema imala je postalo kritično i oni su počeli misliti na troškove liječenja.
"Oni nisu briga ranije o svojim zubima i vide samo liječnika kada je u boli. "Možda je u to vrijeme je prekasno, oni misliti na troškove vidim privatnih liječnika i da biste vidjeli liječniku vlade moraju čekati dugo vremena," rekao je.
On je rekao ako ljudi prakticiraju periodične provjere, troškove i dugog čekanja, može se izbjeći.
"Možda u ranom posjetu zuba može potrebno čistiti ili ispunjena ... punjenje i vađenje proces je jeftiniji oko RM50 i RM60, ali vidim stručnjaka mogla koštati oko RM400," rekao je.
On nije popusta mogućnost da odrasli nisu posjetili Vlada klinikama kao oni su morali čekati dugo vremena za tretman kao djeluje u skladu sa klinikama imenovanja.
Glasnogovornik Ministarstva zdravstva zdravlje zuba podjele, dr. Norinah Mustapha, rekao je Vlada nastoji poboljšati stomatološkim uslugama, posebno u ruralnim područjima kako bi privukli više odrasli da bi dobili tretman.

Trenutno omjer vlade stomatologa stanovništvu je 1:15,243, dok je omjer stanovništva da i vlada i privatni liječnici u kombinaciji je 1:7,941
"To ne zadovoljava cilj Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije čiji je cilj je jedan zubar za 4.000 osoba. Međutim, s prelaskom stomatolozi u zemlji i inozemstvu ciljani omjer će se postići u 2018 (1:4,093), "rekla je

Upravljanje redovima čekanja i imenovanje podsjetnik također će poslati SMS ako postoji pet pacijenata prije nego što na red.

Multi-etnička postavke vitalnog značaja za 1Malaysia klinike
------------------
Yayasan 1Malaysia (1Malaysia Foundation) pohvaljuje Seri Najib Tun Datuk Razak Vlade za provedbu 1Malaysia klinike u različitim dijelovima zemlje. Za sada, 44 od 50 klinika namijenjena za prvu fazu programa su počeli operacije.
Usmjeren je na pružanje kvalitetne primarne zdravstvene zaštite gradske sirotinje, tih klinika će biti smješten u manje advantaged područja grada. Priučeno koji će upravljati klinike će prisustvovati na manje bolesti za koje su osposobljeni pod nadzorom liječnika.
Još važnije, pacijent će se naplaćivati samo Ringgit po posjeti na bilo 1Malaysia kliniku. Budući da se te klinike pružaju uslugu svima, bez obzira na etničku pripadnost, njihova uloga mogla bi pomoći u malom način za jačanje ideju da potrebe svih Malezijci će se uzeti njegu u fer i pravedan način.
U mjeri u kojoj je to moguće, 1Malaysia klinike trebaju biti smješteni u multietničkim postavljanje. Priučeno osoblja klinike također treba doći iz različitih etničkih pozadina, ako je moguće.
Ako 1Malaysia klinike ciljati izravno višegodišnji pitanje socijalne pravde i adresa neizravno kompleks izazovom etničkih integracije, nema razloga zašto liječnici ne bi trebali volonter da se uključe u ovaj odličan zajednice temelji inicijativu.
Što kaže generalni direktor Ministarstva zdravstva Tan Sri dr. Ismail Merican da ministarstvo, koje je izvršni program, angažirao je skupinu liječnika u javnom i privatnom sektoru koji će vidjeti 1Malaysia kliniku bolesnika koji zahtijevaju hitnu pozornost.
Osim toga, Yayasan 1Malaysia smatra da Malezijski Medical Association (MMA) treba poticati svoje članove, pogotovo one koji žive i rade u blizini ovih klinika, izdvojiti tri ili četiri sata tjedno za rad, a možda čak i vodič , 1Malaysia paramedics.
Ovo besplatno, dobrovoljni rad na dijelu MMA liječnici mogu smatrati javne službe od visokog reda, i trebaju biti priznate kao takve od strane države i društva.
Dok 1Malaysia klinika je značajan korak u nastojanju da poboljša kvalitetu života stanovnicima sa niskim primanjima urbane Malezije, Vlada zna da postoji još mnogo toga učiniti da bi se podići dostojanstvo siromašnih i marginaliziranih u našoj sredini.

Dobra ideja, ali bi privatne klinike da vam pomognu
-----------------
POSTAVLJANJE 1Malaysia klinika je dobra ideja, ali mora postojati stroge kriterije. Tu će biti više štete nego koristi, ako ne postoje liječnici, osim ako su prisutni bolnice Pomoćnici dozvoljeno samo dati prvu pomoć, Njega i staranje ne rade kao što su obrada i izdavati lijekove propisane od strane kvalificiranog liječnika.
Jedan od načina iz Ja mogu misliti na što je za Vladu kako bi se omogućilo nekoliko odabranih privatnih klinika da pomogne, dopuštajući im da vide one siromašne pacijente nego dobiti svoje lijekove od vlade klinika.
Vlade u proteklih su zatvaranje privatnih klinika bez liječnika na puno radno vrijeme pohađanja zbog štete to može učiniti, što mi ne slažete, ali zašto dvostrukih standarda kao što smo sada uspostavu državne klinike, bez liječnika?
Neki liječnici, siguran sam, bit će spremni pomoći Vladi gledajući pacijenti poslani od strane državnih klinika te ih slati natrag u dobiti lijek od vlade klinika.
Za te siromašnih bolesnika, liječnici mogu samo zadužen nominalna naknada za pokriće nad glavom i pružiti besplatnu uslugu onima koji stvarno ne mogu priuštiti.
Da bi se izbjegla zloupotreba, Vlada može na ekranu takvih bolesnika 1Malaysia klinikama i dati im napomenu da vidi GP i zatim se vratiti za svoje lijekove.
Liječnici su uglavnom protiv uspostave vlade klinika bez liječnici ne zbog potencijalnog gubitka zarade.
To je zato što će učiniti više štete za bolesnika, a također je neetički.
Osobno sam vidio mnoge dijabetičare i hipertenzivnih bolesnika, lijek koji dobiju od vlade klinika Ne posade sastavljene od liječnika, s teškim nuspojavama koje su se mogle izbjeći da ti bolesnici dobro je zbrinut od strane kvalificiranog liječnika.
Vlada također treba dati priliku da liječnici opće prakse već imaju tvrd vrijeme u provedbi zdravstvene zaštite kod Billa. Iako nisam GP, ja uvijek vjerujem da opće prakse (obiteljske medicine) je vrlo važna disciplina, što je nažalost postaje sve manje popularan.

1Malaysia clinics no threat to private clinics: PM (Updated with full list)
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said private doctors need not worry that their earnings would be affected by 1Malaysia clinics.
He said this was because the 50 1Malaysia clinics set up nationwide would concentrate on giving patients normal medical examinations like checking blood pressure level for hypertension, and sugar level.
“Actually, they (private doctors) will not be affected because the cases from here (1Malaysia clinics) will be referred to them for further examination or treatment, or the patients will then go to the government hospitals.
“So, I do not regard this as a win-lose situation but actually a win-win situation … it's easy for the people while the private clinics will receive patients as usual,” he told reporters after launching the Kerinchi 1Malaysia Clinic in Lembah Pantai here Thursday.
The prime minister was replying to a question on the concern voiced by the Malaysian Medical Association (MAA) over the existence of 1Malaysia clinics as they felt it could affect their income.
He said Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai would hold a dialogue session with MMA members to assure them on the matter.
However, he stressed that 1Malaysia clinics were established solely for the benefit of the people.
“It is all for the interest of the rakyat (people) who are our No 1 concern … this is what the Government stands for,” he said, adding that there were already 44 1Malaysia clinics in operation nationwide.
Najib said establishing the 44 clinics within two months was a record for the Health Ministry under the 2010 Budget, as the target of setting up 50 such clinics was almost met within such a short time.
On the proposal to increase the number of 1Malaysia clinics, he said the Government would evaluate the need based on the public response and the effects of the new approach in expanding public healthcare.
“If the response and effects are good, the clinics will possibly be increased … but let us evaluate first as 50 (clinics) is a big number. And we also need to determine the effectiveness of these clinics and this new approach. From there, we can decide,” he said.
Najib said most of the 1Malaysia clinics were located in town areas as outside urban areas were 2,000 rural clinics which had existed since the country's independence.
He said the Government had allocated RM10mil for the 50 1Malaysia clinics this year, but the amount was not for the buildings but for the internal fittings and medicines only.
Earlier, Najib who is also Finance Minister, said the setting up of the clinics was truly in line with the 1Malaysia concept mooted by him, as they were open to all races, especially from the low-income group.
He said the effort was introduced and implemented by the Government to ensure that quality health services in this country could be justly, equitably and wholly accessed by the people.
“That's the Government's aspiration,” he added.
“And access to the service (from 1Malaysia clinics) definitely involves a minimum cost, that is, RM1 … the cheapest in the world or can be regarded as almost free.
“Besides that, patients don't have to wait long as the 1Malaysia clinics will provide fast service. In this situation, the Health Ministry also benefits as the government hospitals will be less crowded with patients needing just basic treatment.”
Najib said the 1Malaysia clinics would operate daily, seven days a week, from 10am to 10pm, and manned by paramedics comprising medical assistants and trained nurses.

Ill-informed personnel just won't do at clinics
THE 1Malaysia clinic is an effort by the Government to provide better healthcare service to the public, especially in rural and highly populated urban areas. Currently, there are 44 clinics in Malaysia.
However, an issue put forth by Malaysian Medical Association president has raised a valid and pertinent point. These clinics are not manned by doctors. In fact, they are managed by nurses and medical assistants (MAs).
In view of the shortage of doctors nationwide, this is as far as medical service can be provided in these clinics.
Normally, light illnesses such as the common cough and cold can be identified by medical assistants (MAs) and nurses as these are their functions during triage at an emergency department.
However, management of any illness will be brought to a doctor to assure that proper and appropriate measures are provided.
This has been the practice of medical health and treatment. The setback of having MAs and nurses at 1Malaysia clinics is their inability to identify severe illnesses which may initially be present with only mild symptoms.
At times, they could quickly progress acutely and can eventually cause death. Therefore, in the emergency departments, cases are triaged into green (mild), yellow (moderate) and red (severe) zones.
Most in the green zone are discharged with medications. Some are placed under observation and at times admissions are done based on a doctor's suspicions of an underlying menace that may surface later.
I relate here a true case that happened in my emergency department. A toddler was seen by the MAs during the triage for cough and cold.
At the time, the child appeared to be active and cheerful and was subsequently slotted into the green zone with a waiting time of more than an hour.
During that period, the child quickly became lethargic, weak, had a seizure and eventually collapsed onto the mother's lap. He was then quickly resuscitated and incubated but despite vigorous CPR, the child succumbed to his illness.
The paediatrics team was puzzled and after the child's autopsy, reports mentioned of dehydration and lumbar puncture results revealed that he had suffered from Meningitis.
Although reports from the triage mentioned of an active and cheerful child, but signs such as cold peripheries, capillary refill time, poor skin turgor, dry oral mucosa and neck stiffness could have been picked up by a medical doctor.
Although this may be an isolated incident, it is a situation that opened the eyes of our paediatrics team and immediate recommendations were made to have a secondary doctor to double check paediatric cases in triage to prevent the recurrence of such a case.
Kao za 1Malaysia klinike, iako one pružaju osnovne medicinske potrepštine, odluka za preporuke za hitnu medicinsku pomoć ili svibanj ne biti kao učinkovit i mogao kobna za određene medicinske situacijama.
Pokretanje 1Malaysia klinika za pohvalu, ali se vremenom, možda liječnici bi trebali biti uključeni u shemu.

MMA: 1Malaysia klinike su u skladu s konceptom skrbi
KUALA LUMPUR: Malezijski liječničkog zbora (MMA) pozdravio Vladin potez u postavljanju 1Malaysia klinike za gradske sirotinje, rekavši da je u skladu s konceptom brige.
Međutim, njezin predsjednik, dr. David KL Quek, rekao je da, dok MMA podržan bolje, jeftinije i dostupnije zdravstvene ustanove za javnost, najavu da 1Malaysia klinike nalaze posade sastavljene od medicinskih sestara i asistenti su mnogi liječnici iznenadila.
Pisanje u President's stupac u najnovije MMA biltena, rekao je na početku svoje osobno mišljenje je da samo 50 klinikama diljem zemlje će imati vrlo mali utjecaj na bilo liječnika rizu, ali je pogriješio što je Vladin potez je izazvao nemir i pomutnju među liječnika opće medicine.
"Dobio sam, doslovno, stotine ljuti i osuđuju SMSs, i faksova i e-mail tražeći da MMA rješavanje pitanja koja su osjećali nepravedno je utjecajem svoje usluge. Gotovo svaki liječnik koji se žalio da je ovaj pristup koristi klinika da se vode medicinskih sestara i asistenata bio u krivu u pravu ", rekao je on.
On je naglasio da MMA snažno osjetio da su sve 1Malaysia klinike trebaju biti popunjene liječnici u skladu sa zakonom koji diktiraju Medicinske da su sve medicinske i zdravstvene klinike se izvoditi samo registrirani liječnici.
Do sada, Vlada je postavio 50 1Malaysia klinika u urbanim područjima za pružanje osnovnih usluga kao što su liječenje bolesti maloljetnika i praćenje dijabetesa i hipertenzije.
Ove klinike nalaze posade sastavljene od bolnice asistenata i medicinske sestre, a povremeno pod nadzorom liječnika.
Najnoviji polje izvješća ukazuju da su te klinike su dobro primljena od strane ljudi i postaju popularni.
Na nedostatak liječnika, dr. Quek rekao MMA vjeruje da nema stvarne nestašice nego samo "misdistribution resursa".
On je rekao MMA podrazumijeva da logističkih problema koji proizlaze iz nevoljkost liječnika da bude premješten je u ruralnim ili više udaljenih lokacija, unatoč poboljšano perks ostao izazov za Ministarstvo zdravstva.
Ipak, dodao je, ona vjeruje da je ispravno i fer implementacije politike treba započeti za prevladavanje problema.
On je rekao da ako 1Malaysia klinike su sada u sklopu proširenog zdravstvu, a zatim MMA vjerovali da sve više javnog sektora liječnici bi bili voljni biti raspoređeno na rotaciju ili kao dio obuke inicijative za poboljšane prakse ili obiteljske opće medicine zvanja.

Loše odgovor na H1N1 jabs
Petaling Jaya: siromasima odgovor na besplatni Gripa A (H1N1) cjepiva jabs je vjerojatno zbog ljudi izgristi se o mogućim nuspojavama.
Zamjenik ministra zdravstva Datuk Abdul Rashid Rosnah Shirlin je rekao da su neki ljudi mogli sići s groznica za nekoliko dana nakon cijepljenja.
"To bi mogao biti razlog zašto ljudi ne dolaze za Jabs," rekla je.
Ukupno 104 zdravstvenih ustanova nudi cjepiva protiv H1N1 u cijeloj zemlji. Međutim, reakcija je bila slaba, iako se jabs dati besplatno.

New influenza drug is effective, assures doctor
KUALA LUMPUR: The new trivalent influenza drug in the market is effective against Influenza A (H1N1), the Malaysian Society of Infectious Disease and Chemotherapy (MSIDC) said.
Available since March, the drug can fight against H1N1, H3N1 and Influenza B strains.
The fight against H1N1 is now included in the seasonal influenza vaccination.
“Those especially in the high-risk group are encouraged to get their vaccination,” MSIDC member Dr Christopher Lee said, adding that high risk individuals included those with underlying medical conditions as well as pregnant women, those above 65 years old and children above six months old.
At government hospitals and clinics, the vaccination for monovalent H1N1 virus strain was currently offered, he told a media conference on Annual Influenza Vaccination with New Southern Hemisphere Formulation yesterday.
Dr Lee said that based on past trends, the most common symptoms for Malaysians hit by influenza were cough, fever and sore throat and not many suffered from diarrhoea.
Asked to comment about the possibility that people might have a fever after getting the jab, Dr Lee said the vaccination was generally safe with mild side effects.
Prof Datin Dr Che Ilina Che Isahak of the Asia Pacific Advisory Committee on Influenza said the vaccine did not contain live virus.
“Even if one gets a fever from the jab, it is usually mild.”
She advised those travelling to the northern hemisphere to get the northern strains vaccination two weeks before they travel to their destination.
“The seasonal influenza jab is useful even if one gets infected with a different match. The effects would not be as bad as one who did not get a jab,” she said.
In PUTRAJAYA, health authorities were alerted of six Influenza-like Illness (ILI) cluster cases – four of them in schools – in Pahang, Malacca and Johor over the past 24 hours.
Of the cases, two were tested positive for H1N1 and were administered with anti-viral medication.
Health Director-General Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican said the cases were reported at SK Kemendor in Jasin, Malacca, involving six people, SM Sains Sultan Ahmad Shah in Kuantan, Pahang (nine students), SMK Tekek in Rompin, Pahang (five) and SK Cheng in Malacca (nine).
Four members of a family in Bandar Baru Uda, Johor Baru, and three members of another family in Kampung Maju Jaya, also in Johor Baru, showed symptoms of ILI, with a member from each family testing positive for H1N1.
Dr Ismail said as of Monday, 31 new cases of H1N1, including the two patients from the cluster cases, were reported nationwide, adding that there were now 606 ILI patients being treated in hospitals.

Health DG: Private hospital fees exorbitant; to be revised
KUALA LUMPUR: The government will revise the fees charged by private sector hospitals and clinics, Health Director-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican said.
“The exorbitant fees now charged by private hospitals has been brought to my attention many times and the current schedule drawn by the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) was not as comprehensive as it should be.
“As such I have made it a point to call for a meeting soon with MMA to develop a comprehensive fee schedule that was acceptable to all,” he said in a special interview published in the latest issue of the MMA newsletter.
He reminded doctors that the main reason for them to choose the profession was not merely to make money and profits, although there was nothing wrong with it, but to help the sick.
“Therefore doctors have to give a level of care that would reduce the morbidity and mortality and provide comfort to the patients,” he added.
He said doctors were respected by society because they had earned it, however, it was not their right to demand respect as it was a privilege.
Touching on the medical curriculum, he said there was an urgent need to revamp the medical curriculum in local universities to make it more relevant to the country's current health and medical sector.
He said at present, what was being offered has been deemed insufficient for young doctors to function effectively, and added that the view was derived from a number of interviews he had conducted with primary healthcare specialists and was not satisfied with the outcome.
A related area of concern, he added, was the aspect of technology substituting the human touch.
“Doctors do not examine patients the way they used to do and they substitute it with technology,” he said.
He reminded doctors that patients came to see them because they wanted to talk to them about their problems, but doctors were too busy doing other things, and were not listening.
Dr Ismail was also concerned with the mushrooming of medical schools which was beyond the jurisdiction of the Health Ministry.
“My advice to doctors and specialists in the face of this challenge is to train these young doctors,” he said.
Dr Ismail said the onus in terms of quality of young doctors was in the ability of a specialist, to train them.
“There have been many instances where housemen experienced mental anguish, depression, anxiety, stress and suicidal tendencies while undergoing training and this is no laughing matter.”
As such, he advocated a two-way assessment system where not only the specialist and doctors provide feedback, but the houseman would also be given an opportunity to provide feedback on their trainers.
On the criteria for promotion of public service doctors, Ismail said it was based on five main aspects, namely service, training, research, one's standing in the eyes of peers and the 360 degree perception.
He explained that the 360 degree perception, meant a positive reaction and recognition from patients, students and peers which reflected upon the dedication, commitment and quality care of the doctor.

Muhyiddin: Performance in health exemplary
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's performance in the health sector has been exemplary and can be used as a benchmark by other developing countries, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said.
He said the salient features of the country's achievements included universal access to comprehensive public health and a safety net for emergency expenditure for chronic illnesses.
“Consequently, there have been significant improvements in the health status of our population with a reduction in morbidity and mortality and an increased life expectancy,” he said at the opening of the 67th Malaysian Dental Association annual general meeeting and FDI International Scientific Convention and Trade Exhibition at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
However, Muhyiddin said the system of financing the present healthcare system could not be sustained because of numerous challenges.
The ministry was now working towards reform in the healthcare system where the role of the private sector would be significantly enhanced, he said.

Healthcare can bring RM10bil to economy, says Liow
PUTRAJAYA: The healthcare industry has the potential to contribute RM10bil to the national economy by concentrating in four sectors, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.
The areas are pharmaceutical, production of medical equipment, health tourism and training of specialists.
“While this will be mostly private sector-driven, my ministry will facilitate and provide expert assistance to the concerned companies.
“It will be a challenging time for us but we are all excited and ready to help realise the Government's aim of generating more income from healthcare services,” he told reporters after presenting excellence service awards to Health Ministry staff yesterday.
The industry contributes some RM4bil to the economy.
Private healthcare is one of the 12 National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs) under the 10th Malaysia Plan.
While the ministry targeted RM10bil in annual revenue by 2020, Liow said he was confident the goal could be achieved earlier.
One aim would be for local pharmaceutical companies to produce higher quality generic drugs which could be exported.
Liow said discussions would be held with medical equipment companies to see how his ministry could help boost production to increase export, adding that Malaysia has the expertise to provide training for foreign doctors and specialists.
“As for health tourism, we already have 35 hospitals and clinics, including dental clinics that are promoting their services.
“The ministry has also set up the Malaysian Healthcare Travel Council to promote the country's healthcare services abroad,” he said.
Liow said the ministry would not abandon its core business of providing health services to the people.
The ministry had put in place a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) to gauge the efficiency of its services – particularly in emergency assistance, pharmacy, counter service, clinic service and operations.
On another matter, the ministry refuted news reports about the outbreak of malaria in Sekinchan, Selangor, saying the recent death due to the disease involved a fisherman from Myanmar.
The three others warded in Sungai Karang hospital were also Myanmar nationals.
“They were all imported cases. We have also conducted blood test on 122 locals and 219 foreigners in the area. All tests came back negative,” he said.

Hard to control high blood pressure
KUALA LUMPUR: Four out of 10 adults suffer from high blood pressure in Malaysia, but only 26% of them have it under control.
The direct and indirect costs of treating high blood pressure was estimated at RM2,719 and RM7,511 respectively per patient last year.
In addition, up to 85% of the patients may need multiple medications to help control their blood pressure, underscoring the need for more effective combination treatment.
Hypertension, or elevated blood pressure, indicates that the heart is working harder than normal, putting both the heart and the arteries under greater strain.
“As doctors, this is our biggest challenge – getting blood pressure under control in the first place, and then keeping it there,” said National Heart Association of Malaysia president Prof Dr Sim Kui Hian during a media briefing recently.

Liow: Medical assistants to be stationed at rural clinics
SEPANG: Medical assistants will be stationed at all rural clinics for the convenience of patients in the area, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.
“Having medical assistants at rural clinics would mean that patients in the area would no longer have to travel far to seek treatment for minor problems like influenza, fever or cough,” he said.
He said the move was part of the ministry's efforts to improve medical services in the country and the Sepang rural clinic would be the first to be upgraded. A medical assistant will be stationed there from Aug 1.
“Medical assistants have proven successful in our efforts to enhance medical services in urban areas. We feel it is time to extend the services to rural areas,” he told reporters during his visit to the clinic here yesterday. Liow said the upgrading of the 2,000 rural clinics nationwide, currently run by community nurses, would be done in stages but it would take time to place a medical assistant in each of them.
“We need to hire and train medical assistants as well as create facilities to dispense medication.
“We will also re-engage retired medical assistants on a contractual basis for this purpose,” he said.
On the dengue problem, Liow said the ministry would work with residents' associations, village development and security committees and non-governmental organisations to set up communication behavourial impact (Combi) volunteer groups to contain the spread of the disease.

Flat rate for all under new healthcare system mulled
By LESTER KONG
KUALA LUMPUR: The rich, like everybody else except the very poor, need only contribute a “flat rate” to enjoy quality healthcare under the planned National Health Financing Scheme .
“It's not like the higher your salary, the higher you pay. It's a flat rate. It's a minimal amount,” said Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.
The scheme is not likely to be split into various sub-schemes to make people of different income levels pay differently, he told a press conference after opening a healthcare seminar here yesterday.
However, he said, those with higher incomes could opt to buy extra insurance to protect themselves if they want better medical services.
“If the rich want to have better service on top of what they already have, they can buy extra insurance,” he added, reiterating that the very poor would be exempted from contributing to the scheme.
“We always take care of the poor, they will not need to contribute. The Government will take care of their healthcare,” said Liow when commenting on a recent report that quoted him as saying that it would take another year before the scheme, designed to make healthcare affordable, can be implemented.
He had reportedly said that this was because it involves reviewing the Medical Act 1972.
Liow had announced in December last year that the Health Ministry was working on a plan to allow the public to seek medical treatment at private clinics without having to pay high medical fees.
He said the Government was considering paying a portion of the bill under the proposed plan.
Liow invited the public to give their views through the ministry's website at moh.gov.my or his blog at liowtionglai.com.

1Malaysia mobile clinics to serve remote areas
KUALA LUMPUR: After the success of the 1Malaysia clinic, the Government now plans to launch 1Malaysia mobile clinics as part of its continuous efforts to provide quality and affordable healthcare services to the people.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the mobile clinics, which would use buses fitted with facilities for medical treatment and equipped for minor surgeries, would serve remote areas with limited access to clinics.
“I believe with the launch of the mobile clinics, more people living in the rural areas, traditional kampung, estates and new villages can have access to better and quality healthcare,” he said at the Malaysian Medical Association's 50th anniversary dinner here last night.
Besides this, the Government also planned to open more 1Malaysia clinics under the 10th Malaysia Plan, following the increasing popularity of these clinics among the people.
Najib also said the Government would provide better healthcare services for the urban poor, especially since 70% of the country's population lived in towns and cities.
“Those living in the metropolitan areas, especially the urban poor should not be denied access to quality healthcare services,” he said.
He also said that although the Government was putting greater emphasis on health tourism, the healthcare and medical needs of Malaysians would not be neglected.
The Government, he said had set the target of achieving a ratio of one doctor to 600 people by 2015 from the current ratio of one doctor to 900 people.
