Traditional medicines should be explored .It could be cheaper and with minimum side -effects. Government should find ways to encourage the growth of this discipline.
Use the Japan government health system ….Potential Therapy…no need medicine yet most Japanese healthy and live above 100 years of age..
Margaret Chan who said japanese no need medicine
Suresh Naidu you go and have a try by visiting Japan hospital for general wellness they undergo at hospital…see if any medicine being distributed or given out …
Margaret Chan they definetely do. Their doctors come and give talk in conferences in malaysia. And for some malaysian doctors do fellowship in japan .
Is a talk
the healthcare system is not really caring for health, it’s a system monopolised by the pharma companies. Doctors cannot prescribe cure that’s outside those approved by the pharma companies, or else they can lose their licence.
Our hero health ministers busy banning 🚬… a real big & immediate “health issue” to them… 😂😂😂
Just sharing – FACT – I’m frm Klang.. Every morning, a large group of HA’s – Hospital Assistants in white uniform ,frm Klang GH gather at a Mamak Shop in Taman Chi Liung – behind the Public Bank area corner shop… behind the hardware shop , without fail.. – Every working day… starts with 4 or 5 of them, then join tables and the group grows to around 15… Beginning frm around 9.30 to 10 am… They sit there till around 12 noon, and one by one disappears… It’s a daily affair… MY OPINION – They are sabotaging the present day Govt.. remnants frm the old regime… The Queue in the hospital is long, real long… No one to attend…. PH got to do something about this….. Investigate first…. ! Going on for the last few months…..
Charles Joseph wonder if the htar administrator knows this.
The health minister not doing the job properly. The blood test patients empty stomach, limited place to sit and bad ventilation. No numbers. Calling names, don’t know how to read the name, shuffles to the bottom It happens to the poliklinik near Jusco Kota Ringgit.
The health minister just do small things. Please focus on the welfare of the sick. Tax payers pay for their bills. Remember that !!!
White uniforms are hospital attendents… this group run minor errands and most problematics one. Medical assitants wear white top and black pants. Can u snap picture of the scene and complain to kkm
Dont snap picture and post in fb. Send it hospital director or kkm. Maybe they are there after night shift. Certainly not all of them after night shift
Blame DAP… Easy…
But Malaysia still has very good dedicated doctors and nurses working very hard in our public hospitals and Klinik Kesihatan. Kudos to these wonderful people!
