PLANS are underway to erect a “Bangunan Klinik Pakar (Specialist Clinic Building)” at Queen Elizabeth Hospital 1 (QEH1).

The medical institution presently comprises a Tower Block and Specialist Block.A Health Department spokesman said about RM2 million had been approved for the construction of the additional building under the Twelfth Malaysia Plan .

“The Hospital’s administration intends to run Ambulatory Care and Urology treatment from the new building once it is ready.”He explained that “Ambulatory Care” was medical care provided on an outpatient basis, including diagnosis, observation, consultation, treatment and rehabilitation services.On feedback from a urology patient about the lack of privacy in the consulting rooms at QEH1, the spokesman said steps had been taken to segregate some doctor sessions involving urinary conditions.

“Sessions, involving sensitive cases, will be conducted here. Urology patients can also request to use the TRUS room.” Louis hoped the administration of QEH1 would consider allowing one doctor to each room so that patients could speak more openly with their doctors without fear of others overhearing the conversation.

“On the day in question, there were only eight MOs and two medical specialists on duty. Four rooms were used for consultancies at the time.As regards to the overcrowding at QEH1, he said this was “unavoidable” due to the overwhelming number of pending cases. “Our outpatient clinics are carried out three times a week. On average about 1,279 patients are treated at the clinics each month.”
