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

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

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!
