'Adverse domino effect': Zaliha_DrZ admits public hospitals' emergency depts severely overwhelmed
The admission came amid growing warnings about the mental and physical fatigue suffered by both staff and patients, which healthcare activists have warned could cause the public healthcare system to collapse if it remained unaddressed. The minister has vowed to find solutions upon taking office. On Twitter this morning, Dr Zaliha said her ministry must acknowledge the “scale of the problem”, an assertion based on her observation made during a field visit to public emergency departments.
The survey was titled “Dissatisfaction Among Health Care Professionals and Workers in Malaysia’s Health Service”.Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is expected to retain the proposed increase in allocation of RM36.14 billion for the Ministry of Health under Budget 2023, an increase of about 11.5 per cent from RM32.41 billion allocated in Budget 2022. Dr Zaliha has pledged to table a Health White Paper in a bid to resolve the entrenched issues facing public healthcare.
