KUALA LUMPUR: Poor diagnostic policies are among the main failures in the country’s management of the Covid-19 pandemic, says Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad (PH-Kuala Selangor).

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia's Covid-19 caseload crossing the one million mark has exposed the shortcomings of the national healthcare delivery system and the government's failure in managing the pandemic, says former health minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.

The Selangor Covid-19 Task Force chairperson added that when they had access to epidemiological granular line-listing data, they were able to conduct active case detection in community screening using Acura A1 and big data analytics in Selangor, a hotbed of Covid-19 cases. He also cited a media interview with Brigadier General Dr Mohd Arshil Moideen of the Malaysian Armed Forces Health Service Division, who had said that the lack of unified action and top-down coordination was among the main reasons why the nation has failed to manage the pandemic.

“These countries have a fast contact tracing system and do not merely put one officer to man the phone at the district health office and contact 200 to 300 people daily . “Speed is the name of the game. It is like fighting a war,” he said at the special Parliamentary sitting on Tuesday.
