Peter John Jaban says the health ministry should look at whether it has the ability to handle disease outbreaks, instead of saying the viruses come from outside the country. FMTNews Sarawak

Sarawak human rights activist Peter John Jaban says the government must ensure that the country’s health quality is improved.

“If there were to be a pandemic of any kind, would the ministry have the capacity to combat it? They seem to have no ability to track diseases, especially in the rural areas, and simply no facility to combat them. Jaban said Dzulkefly had used the same excuse after 20 people died following a rabies epidemic in Sarawak last year when he said the disease had originated from Indonesia’s West Kalimantan.

“Even for private patients, the vaccine is often simply ‘out of stock.’ Why isn’t the ministry making sure that sufficient stocks are available?” he asked.
