00:00Based on the latest data, the need for additional human resources in the health sector in Sabah
00:08is expected to increase by 2030.
00:13For the public sector, referring to the schedule of projects that will be completed in Sabah by 2030,
00:20the required workforce will increase from 4,516 people in 2023 to 6,526 people in 2030,
00:32with the need for an additional 2,010 people.
00:36For the private sector, the increase from 645 people in 2023 to 810 people in 2030
00:47with an additional 165 medical workers.
00:52Overall, the number of health workers required will increase from 5,161 people in 2023
01:03to 7,336 people in 2030, with an additional 2,687 people.
01:12The proportion of doctors to residents is also expected to see a positive increase
01:17from one doctor for every 697 residents in 2023
01:24to one doctor for every 571 residents in 2030.
01:31This shows that the addition of workers in the health sector in Sabah
01:36is important to support population growth and ensure better health care.
01:43For the strategies and initiatives that have been carried out to bring doctors closer,
01:50especially in Sabah, is by giving priority to Sabah-born medical workers
01:57to spread wisdom and wisdom to the people of Sabah.
02:01Second, by placing more medical workers, medical workers who have completed their specialist training
02:08and permanent medical workers and contracts to support medical and health services in Sabah.
02:14Try to fill in the positions of medical workers and medical professionals
02:18who are still empty in the Sabah health facilities.
02:21Facilitate requests to create additional positions of medical workers
02:26and medical professionals to the central agencies, especially for new facilities and high-end facilities.
02:33And also implement innovative approaches,
02:36i.e. combining professional services in certain facilities environments
02:41through the concept of Hospital Cluster and implementing the concept of Visiting Specialist
02:47with permission for medical professionals to deliver services to residents outside the city.
02:53Continue various incentives to attract and maintain special health services
02:59in urban and rural areas,
03:01including the ease of payment of incentives according to location and level of difficulty,
03:06regional tourism, and payment of location incentives for medical professionals
03:11and specialists in the health facilities in Sabah.
03:15Based on the reference, to answer the second question
03:19regarding the Bad-to-Total Population Ratio,
03:23the number of beds for every 1,000 residents of Sabah has increased from 1.52 to 1.77
03:31with an additional target of 1,941 government hospitals that will be ready by 2030.
03:41To calculate the BPI reduction, it also includes government beds, non-KKM, and private hospitals
03:49where 40 beds are provided by the Ministry of Defence.
03:54The Hospital University Malaysia Sabah project under the Ministry of Higher Education
03:59is now under construction and is expected to be ready by 2026.
04:03And also private bed reduction will increase by 5%
04:07based on the contribution of the private sector in Sabah in the past 5 years.
04:12Therefore, the realistic BPI target for Sabah at the end of RMK 13 is 1.77.
04:22That's all. Thank you.
04:37KPM, KPM, KPT, and maybe both governments
04:43so that we can find a formula to increase the number of students
04:48from Sabah and Sarawak who are taking medical courses.
04:53And my question is, how many doctors from Sabah under KPM are serving in Semenanjung?
05:00Secondly, is there any research done by the Ministry
05:05on the placement of new doctors in Sabah and Sarawak,
05:09especially on the challenges they are facing
05:12so that they don't stay here for too long?
05:17And what measures have been taken by KPM?
05:20I would also like to advise the Ministry as a non-medical person,
05:25if possible, don't just fill the vacancies of doctors in Sabah and Sarawak
05:31with doctors who have just finished their housemanship,
05:35especially in the rural areas.
05:37Just because there are not enough doctors,
05:39and just because they have just finished their housemanship,
05:42we keep placing them in hospitals, especially in the rural areas.
05:47I think at least for doctors who have 3 or 4 years of experience with IZIN,
05:54for the people of Sabah and Sarawak.
05:59And definitely, I agree with the increase of facilities,
06:02hospitals and health clinics,
06:04because if there is an increase in facilities, hospitals and health clinics,
06:08there will be more experts and more doctors
06:10who may have more experience being placed in hospitals and clinics.
06:15Thank you, Minister.
06:16Thank you, Honourable Mayor.
06:19I would like to raise an issue that is very, very important
06:23for Sabah, Sarawak, and especially the areas outside the big cities in Malaysia.
06:29The big challenge in Sabah, Kelap, Menjelang,
06:32and finally RMK 13 is that there are many new facilities that will be built
06:37and will also be ready,
06:39especially starting with the construction of the Tawau Hospital,
06:42which will start operations in 2025.
06:45And next, for the information of our colleagues in Borneo,
06:47especially in Sabah, hospitals such as PAPA, Buford Hospital,
06:51Kota Merudu Hospital, which is currently in the process of tender
06:55and also preliminary work.
06:57And the preliminary work process is also being carried out,
07:00such as in the Duchess of Cairns Hospital,
07:02and also the addition of new blocks for women and children.
07:08And this also involves the addition of beds up to 1,900 beds.
07:14And also, the big challenge in Sabah is the placement
07:19and also the filling of medical offices cannot reach the maximum or optimum amount.
07:28Why? Because we are still burdened with our poor facilities.
07:32Thank you to the Honorable Prime Minister
07:35who has increased the amount of funds from 150 million to 300 million
07:42in the coming years.
07:43And in this year alone, 21 villages and clinics have been demolished
07:48and we have rebuilt them with the addition of square feet
07:52to carry out the process in the health clinics.
07:59What is a major problem is the placement of staff in the quarters
08:06and also the location.
08:09And also, I would like to thank the families from Semenanjung
08:15who are willing to serve in Sabah and also in Sarawak
08:18and also sacrifice so that they are willing to go to Long Nebawan,
08:22go to Sepitang just to serve
08:25and also spend their time as medical workers.
08:28Nevertheless, there are also our medical workers
08:32who have been offered a permanent contract
08:36and have been offered a placement in Sabah
08:39to refuse the offer.
08:41It is not a large number,
08:43but the number is able to provide the best service from the KKM.
08:49And also, we will consider the suggestion from the Honorable Mayor of Belut
08:53to place the medical workers.
08:55And also, the training provided by the KKM
08:59has actually formed a good MO for the Honorable Mayor of Belut
09:05where after they have completed their MO and went to the MO,
09:09served in Sabah and when they move back to Semenanjung,
09:13usually these doctors are good doctors.
09:16We produce good doctors,
09:20but at the same time, we face the lack of these MOs.
09:24I hope that the doctors who are offered a permanent contract
09:29and placed in Sarawak to serve their country
09:33for at least two years in Sabah and Sarawak
09:36so that our people, the families of Sabah and Sarawak
09:41can get the service from the honorable doctors.
09:44That is my hope as the Minister of Health
09:47coming from Sarawak and Borneo
09:49and that is also the hope from the friends of Borneo.
09:53That's all. Thank you.
