What is your metrics for this outburst?
Unless we base our strategies on SOUND & SHARED data we will be trapped in WAVES & MCOs since MOH stopped sharing data in Sept 2020 #HIDE has exposed MOH’s failure to analyze big data (1/6)
Now MOH & JKNS has FAILED to curb the COVID spread in S’gor unlike before Sept 2020 when @stfc_selangor HELPED JKNS to plunge the cases with @Selangkah_my digitized & automated FTTIS Rapid Response!
Since Sept 2020, MOH FORCED @stfc_selangor to “Box in the Ring Blindfolded” (2/6)
Based on data:
5 states surpass the National Infection Rate (IR) average
Highest KL, then S’gor, K’tan, Sarawak, P’ng
MOH ada threshold for MCO ke?
To TIGHTEN SOP ie CIRCUIT BREAKER, KL dulu NOT S’gor-mass testing detects MORE cases
Stop playing parochial politics Minister (3/6)
The critical question to ask is:
Why have MOH failed to flatten the curve since Sept 2020 despite MCOs & EO?
You have done the SAME COVID strategy time & time again & expecting a different outcome!
Kan Einstein dah kata: Ni kan KERJA GILA ! (4/6)
To tame the virus you need to tame your egos first & listen to the EAG & other expert advice outside MOH.
Not just listen but OPERATIONALIZE their new strategies & ideas
Better still .. exit, and allow competent Public Health experts to take charge! (5/6) codeblue.galencentre.org/2021/04/26/pri…
MOH have yet to execute the EAG RESET approach to: 1. Rapid Response FTTIS 2. Real Time Digital Solutions 3. Stronger Public Private Partnership (PPP) 4. Warp Speed Vaccine Rollout 5. Smart Risk Communications (6/6)

#CatchUpPCV13
#BeWiseImmunise
The ABC of Vaccination: 1. Coverage 2. Coverage 3. Coverage
Coverage of PCV for 2020 birth cohort from Jan-Sept 2021:
1st dose: 95%
2nd dose: 93%
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
1980s- Heroin abuse considered a🇲🇾national threat
Drug rehab programs failed miserably!
Criminal & punitive centric👊
Prevalence:
Malay IVDU▶️87% (2009)
Majority▶️20-29 yr (2009)
IVDU Quality of Life (QOL)
❌Very poor QOL
❌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!
