PETALING JAYA: Patients having other illnesses are facing additional challenges as hospitals are increasingly overwhelmed with Covid-19 cases.

Malaysiakini quoted Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah as saying on Saturday that this has made it challenging for non-Covid-19 patients to undergo surgeries as focus is currently on addressing the deadly pandemic.

"It has been impossible to perform elective surgery since December 2020 hence the waiting list for elective and semi-elective surgeries is at an all-time high,” he was quoted as saying.Dr Noor Hisham highlighted the urgency of strategising a return to elective surgery to deal with the backlog and to give solutions for patients waiting for non-elective surgeries.

"Infrastructure and facilities are important but without doctors and staff to fill them, we will not be able to utilise these resources,” said Dr Noor Hisham.

Alhamdulilah. kerajaanGagal pagohBangsat

Bila pulang dari PRN Sabah, ubah peraturan kuarantin. Bila kes naik, minta TutupKilang, terus buka. Tapi bila sidang Parlimen gugat kedudukan, terus tutup. Ini bukan jaga kesihatan, lawan Covid. Ini jaga bos, jaga pangkat, jaga tuan politik.

DrAdhamBaba Tolong asingkan statistik vaksin utk warga negara dan bukan warga negara. Statistik sekarang mengelirukan palatau KKMPutrajaya. Jangan kelirukan rakyat dgn angka. JKJAVMY Khairykj BuletinTV3 501Awani nak tutup stat kilang ke gomen 🤔

Eh bukan kabinet Abah royak kita berjaya?

anwaribrahim chedetofficial SyedSaddiq yeobeeyin hannahyeoh this is simple reporting of what can be seen and a known fact which is camouflaged and not debated. It seems that DGHisham needs to demand for the 🛠 to fix it. He needs to speak up.

Bosan dah

DGHisham pasang bendera cepat

DGHisham you’re reporting. What do you want to say to the Government of the day ? What tools you need ?

Didn't he say that Malaysia 'collaborates ' with China to test their vaccines in few phases?

Congratulations on PRN Sabah

Why din we equip our hospitals for covid when we had time? Where are the emergency funds for hospitals etc etc?

What is the solution

stop being a puppet.

Keadaan masih terkawal

When is the Health minister resigning?

Overwhelmed you say, you all have not stopped Pahang Tourism opening Frasers Hill for tourism starting today. Where is the logic? Get ready for more to come. One breath numbers are high, but on the other hand can open, you all think think sinovac is a wonder drug or what?

It's no brainer to know that since our daily hit is high. How can we help? How government tackle this?

And Ivermectin still in clinical trial since last year --when India, Philippines, Indonesia already listed this drug as an alternativev to fight covid19- besides vaccines- It safes lives but KKM numb till now- stage 4-5 rakyat had no choice but di tidurkan?

Yeah but fact of the matter young Doctors & Nurses who sacrificing their live, time & efforts still under contract & not given permanent job. DGHisham DrAdhamBaba jpagov KKMPutrajaya shame on all of you. While MuhyiddinYassin keep on adding to overblown Cabinet Ministers

I believe there is a minimum 30mil from unused frog buying budget. DG can ask from the relevant people

Tomorrow case maybe 20k again hmm,case keep increasing until abang jamil mampos

DGHisham there's a sayin' when you highlight a problem, please have a possible solution.' Either you tell us wht the solution is or just continue reporting numbers like you do everyday. If you can't make the boss listen, let the rakyat help you. Stop silencing the truth.

Reckon it’s time to actually let frontliners tell the truth?

Yet dr contract issue x selesai... its lip service only

DGHisham ok ..we know then? Whats next ? What is the solution? Are you complaining this to us ?

DGHisham 😅

Don't worry DGHisham Just fly the flag and sit pretty.

Thanks to all managing

Since when the Health DG becoming a Newscaster?

You just look back 2-3 months ago, what habe you said to Rakyat. You changed your predictions over and over again. You're just like those ministers, no difference. Keep telling lies. Daily numbers keep going up and yet you allowed factories to open. Stop acting like a politicians

Kejayaan

DGHisham you mentioned that the cases will be reduced after hitting 17k. Look where we are now. Your statistics simulation is not working at all

This is not a new thing...we want to know solution and not report. What is your solution? If you don't have then let your deputy to do the work. Thenyou can spend more time in politics. Go and agree with relaxing SOPs and have more daily cases. Completely lost respect on you..

Wasn't that was expected when he announce & predict covid19 cases will rise up to 10k TWO MONTHS BACK. Now DGHisham is complaining. Malaysian are losing patients with emergency and lockdowns that doesn't seems to be effective at all. Yeah rite, keep announcing as usual.
