Be part of the Solution NOT part of the Problem. Ours is a partnership of 5 @theedgemalaysia MrDIY-IMARET-MERCY-MRA The EDGE flew in Tyvek Suits (ICU specs) and face-masks. Most distributed on 29-30/3/2020 theedgemarkets.com/content/news-e…
The TUDM plane next flew to Sarawak to deliver Tyvek Suits and masks to Bintulu, Miri, Sibu and Kuching. We are extremely grateful to @theedgemalaysia Mr DIY and our buddy from CVSKL who prefers to remain anonymous.
Our guys in IMARET, MERCY and MRA have been absolutely wonderful, totally selfless and flowing with love and friendship. The #COVID crisis has brought out the BEST from them ... but I am afraid the WORST in others as seen in #socialmedia@theedgemalaysia@DrAdhamBaba@DrDzul

The ABC of Vaccination: 1. Coverage 2. Coverage 3. Coverage
Coverage of PCV for 2020 birth cohort from Jan-Sept 2021:

Dropped during pandemic 🥵
Let’s target coverage at least >70% for herd immunity
Setakat 19 Ogos 2023 (7.5 bln) ▶️23 kematian Pertussis!
Tertinggi sejak 2011
Melebehi 22 kematian pada tahun 2018.
19/22 (86%) kematian 2018 berumur <6 bln.
Audit terperinci mesti dikongsi untuk intervensi kesihatan umum yg tepat.
Susah nak cari data KKM
Boleh share di-DOSM?
Kebanyakan kes Pertussis:
✅Terlalu muda untuk vaksin (un-vaccinated) ✅Tak cukup dos vaksin untuk umur (under-vaccinated)
Solusi untuk ⬇️ kes dan kematian Pertussis:
✅Vaksin Tdap (Tetanus-Diphteria-Pertussis) ibu hamil utk melindungi bayi
✅Vaksin 6 serangkai (termasuk Pertussis) 2,3,5,18 bulan yang pertama
✅Vaksin tambahan untuk remaja dan dewasa
Just thinking!
The issues in the MOH are
✅Chronic maybe 10-20 yrs
✅With an acute on chronic crisis
✅Due to the acts of omission or commission
✅Mainly by technocrats warming seats in Putrajaya
✅Who marginalised the best & bold brains in MOH who dared to open their mouths
✅But of course the jurassic political stewardship is like hopeless with no roadmap for the future of healthcare
✅But despite lousy political masters, I’ve served under 2 excellent DG’s who made MOH a class act
✅Undoubtedly the current YBMK can do better.
✅But if one has a mediocre set of technocrats, one is compromised in one’s health deliverables.
✅And mind you, this technocrat malaise is not just in the MOH
✅The paucity of ideas, imagination, motivations & skill sets is pervasive in the civil service-kinda open secret la!
Calibration from the perspective of Maqasid (Higher Objectives) Shari’ah:
⬆️No of lives saved: Hifz an-Nafs
▶️To live another day to repent & improve: Hifz ad-Deen
⬇️Morbidities to preserve their intellect & progeny: Hifz al-Aql & Hifz an-Nasl
⬆️Cost-savings: Hifz al-Maal

Drug rehab programs failed miserably!
Criminal & punitive centric👊
Prevalence:
Malay IVDU▶️87% (2009)

❌Frequently ill
Since 1998 I’ve cared for women & children living with HIV/AIDS in @imamalaysia Rumah Solehah
I have some insight into the problem though not as great @adeeba@ummuafeera whose passion & dedication I totally admire & respect!
✅Unfortunately, many who dabble in the PrEP issue have virtually no hands on experience in dealing with this most painful, sensitive & explosive issue.
✅They lack empathy and more crucially, they lack rahmah, compassion & love for the marginalised communities
✅They stigmatise further these vulnerable groups mainly young Muslims, instead of engaging with them to decrease their risky behavior & saving them from being infected with HIV/AIDS
✅You don’t achieve abstinence with one turn-over camp or 1-2 sessions of dr consult!
