Following the 14th General Elections in May 2018, we welcome the new line-up of top management, the Honourable Minister of Health YB Datuk Seri Dr Haji Dzulkefly bin Ahmad and the Honourable Deputy Minister of Health YB Dr Lee Boon Chye. Our continued support goes to the commitment of the new government emphasizing on good governance and transparency in ensuring greater wellbeing of the rakyat. On 31 May 2018 the Oral Health Programme bid a sad farewell to YBhg. Datuk Dr Noor Aliyah binti Ismail who left on retirement. We offer our most sincere appreciation and gratitude to YBhg. Datuk who has steered and guided the Programme for almost three years. In year 2018, focus were given to promotive and preventive strategies in community programmes such as screening for risk habits for smoking among schoolchildren under the Kesihatan Oral Tanpa Asap Rokok (KOTAK) programme and empowering the community towards self-oral healthcare through the Kesihatan Oral dan Badan Agama (KOA) programme involving various agencies in campaigns and public oral health awareness. Public awareness on oral cancer and the importance of early detection through Mouth Self Examination (MSE) was also emphasized. Towards improving access to quality healthcare especially for adults, the Oral Health Programme had increased the number of dental clinics providing daily outpatient services to 553 as compared to 523 in 2017. With the concerns in high prevalence of periodontal conditions among Malaysian adults, the standard operating procedure for management of periodontal condition in primary oral healthcare clinic was developed and approved in November 2018. A structured programme on oral healthcare for young adults was also finalized and will be implemented nationwide in 2019. With the theme “Improving Universal Access to Quality Healthcare”, good governance and organizational capacity was further emphasized. In 2018, the MS ISO 9001:2015 was in placed and the additional feature of risk management will further improve the effectiveness in the provision of quality care. Finally, after much deliberation and multiple discussions the much-awaited Dental Act 2018 was consented by His Majesty the King on 26 June 2018. In preparation for the implementation of the New Dental Act 2018, roadshows were deliberated to inform stakeholders on the new act. i ORAL HEALTH PROGRAMME MINISTRY OF HEALTH MALAYSIA I ANNUAL REPORT 2018 With limited posting opportunities in the government service, the approval for new dental officers UG41 appointed on contract basis to do Locum after the compulsory service was obtained.

    Anwar: Back us if you agree with our policies Malaysiakini.com March 3, 2007 Soon Li Tsin Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Anwar Ibrahim made a fiery speech asking for opposition party leaders and members to work hard in the coming elections. Speaking to a 600-strong crowd that gathered at the party’s Chinese New Year open house in Kuala Lumpur last night, Anwar tested his Mandarin much to the crowd’s delight. “Xin nian hao, nian nian hao (happy new year, every year’s a good year),” he greeted to start off his address. In his speech that was sandwiched between singing and harmonica performances, he touched on several issues briefly including the recent dip in the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index. “We want our economy to be better and not have the market perform so badly [...] we don’t want the cost of living to rise ... we want our economy to be taken care off. “If we want every year to be good, we must work hard because Malaysia is (a) good (country), the people are good but the government is not good,” he smiled as the crowd gave a thunderous applause. No empty promises The former deputy premier then switched to a serious tone as he made references to the coming general election. “I’ll be honest tonight, I believe people will be spirited in the coming elections. Last time, Pak Lah had plans but his plans have all been postponed. “We must work hard to change the government. If want to really change the government, we must have a good programme for the people,” he said.

This study aimed to determine the association between prehospital spine immobilization and favorable functional outcomes at hospital discharge among trauma patients with SI. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Pan-Asia Trauma Outcomes Study (PATOS) registry data from January 1, 2016, to November 30, 2018. A total of 759 patients with SI were enrolled from 43,752 trauma patients in the PATOS registry during the study period. The subjects had a median age of 58 years ( Q1−Q3,41−72), and 438 (57.7%) patients had prehospital spine immobilization.
