PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry will seek comprehensive solutions with stakeholders to address the issue of overcrowding at hospital emergency departments, says Dr Zaliha Mustafa.
The Health Minister said this includes extending working hours, streamlining bed management systems and adding more healthcare providers
“Undeniably, with an increasing number of patients every day and various shortages including manpower and facilities, it has exacerbated this congestion issue,” she added. She added that for hospitals with sufficient space, the implementation of a"short stay ward" will be introduced. She said that the patient bed management system will also continue to be streamlined, while outsourcing and collaboration with the private sector will be considered.
