Well, the situation down here is getting rather critical. I just received another info from a friend of mine that ALL elective surgeries for this particular hospital has to be cancelled and postponed due to lack of medications and consumables!! WTH !! And mind you, this is one of the biggest hospital in Malaysia and supposedly a major referral centre for a big state in Peninsular Malaysia. Other then the inability of doing a lot of important blood test, the angiogram machine is also down for the last 1-2 months!
Is this pure mismanagement or lack of fund from the government? I got no idea, as I am not working there anymore. But one thing for sure, many poor souls are going to die, ” Mati Katak” .
My humble advise to the public, please get yourself a medical card! I even tell this to all civil servants as well. Many pensioners regret for not taking a medical card as they trusted the government will take care of them during their golden age. I have many retired civil servants coming to see me in my private clinic as they have given up on the government hospitals, the lack of passion and poor quality of younger doctors! It’s always who you know!
Are we heading to a developed nation or the opposite direction!!

WTF!!!!!!!!
Got people die becos no normal saline. This must be poor management.
Private hospital and Insurance company are happy to see this situation ….means more business in future. Now the government is starting to pass over their role to the rakyat themselves. Like pension scheme to EPF now.
Health Minister and DG are not doing their work.
What? Patient dies bec no normal saline?? I can supply same from my clinic if they want. Is this a conspiracy to boost pte hospitals’ business? Is a prominent pte hospital group involved in this?
This is a pure government hospital, no private interest
Ah! I can guess which hospital it is…
ECG leads??? how on earth could that go missing? and it is mentioned that 1 kes meninggal di ICU due to lack of NS…malaysians got to sue this people for them to learn
As an anaesthetist myself, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I also have this sick feeling in my stomach, so probably the latter.
the anaesthetist/ HOD/pengarah hospital must be damn stupid!
normal saline is from the MAIN state store! it’s never under supply!
it’s just basic medicine and it’s important.
if they running out of the medicine..they should liase with other hospitals in the same state or asking help from HKL.
WTF..!
such a retarded person!
i think they just lazy to work
If I am not mistaken, they have done all that but no response. Lately some of the health clinics are running out of insulins!!
truly this is a mismanagement from the hospital!
in the government sector we can apply for extra budget or emergencies budget if the hospital has no more fund.
i think the anaesthetist / HOD must be super damn lazy/retard to seek help from the MOH.
