00:00I would like to ask for an explanation from the minister.
00:05Let's put aside all this bureaucracy and simplify the process.
00:12Please speed up the process to pass this plan.
00:16And I would like to ask for a commitment from the government.
00:19Please provide the necessary equipment and tools to operate the dialysis center.
00:32And this morning, I received a call from a family member of a new kidney patient.
00:40He asked for dialysis in Betong.
00:46And I received information from Betong that the slot for dialysis is more than 100% full.
00:54And this family was asked to do dialysis in Kuching.
00:57And the distance from Betong to Kuching is 250 kilometers.
01:01Imagine, he has to travel that far twice a week to do dialysis.
01:07So, the need for a dialysis center is very urgent in Betong.
01:12Therefore, we have received funds to build it.
01:15So, I would like to ask the minister to help speed up the process
01:23so that we can implement an additional dialysis center.
01:31I would also like to ask the minister to build a health clinic
01:36to facilitate the residents of Rayo and Pangi to get emergency treatment
01:42since the clinic is quite far from the nearest area.
01:50There have been three cases in this village.
01:53The first is a case of an individual who was hit by a ball and died
02:02because he could not get immediate treatment.
02:05The second is a case that really hurts me.
02:08It involves a child who fell into a river and was forced to be taken to a clinic in Pekantenom
02:16by only walking.
02:18Unfortunately, the child died on the family's bed because he could not get immediate treatment.
02:25The third is a case of a local resident who was hit by a ball
02:31when he was crossing a river and could not get immediate treatment
02:36because the clinic was too far from the nearest area.
02:40In addition, there was a difficult access to the Pekan connection to get treatment.
02:44For the administration of this dialysis center,
02:47the village of Rayo and Pangi can only be connected to the Kertapi connection.
02:54Therefore, I have taken the initiative to hold a discussion with the Kertapi Negeri office this year
03:03and the Kertapi Negeri office has agreed that the land owned by the Kertapi office
03:11will be leased for the purpose of building the health clinic.
03:15In addition, I also ask that the Kemabong clinic can be added to the construction of new buildings
03:22to accommodate the increase in the population of the residents.
03:26Yes, I will start with my speech.
03:29Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
03:32Greetings to all Malaysians.
03:36In the last few months, I have heard and recorded
03:42the speeches of every respected person.
03:52I am sure that they have expressed their wishes and requests
04:04that each of them has brought their concerns and concerns to the people.
04:22I think I have a complete answer to each of them.
04:32With only 23 minutes left, I am not sure I will be able to finish it
04:40as requested by my friends so that I do not complain.
04:46However, each of us may have heard the speeches of other respected friends
04:53who have told us how their people have given them the facilities
05:16such as dialysis and hemodialysis, which are not only difficult to get,
05:24but also cannot be paid.
05:29With a charge of RM80 for each session that ends with paying RM120,
05:41maybe it can be paid, but with the cost of transportation,
05:51I am afraid that I will not be able to finish the dialysis with my life being paid.
06:12All of this, Dr. Andy Pertua, reminds me that I have a big responsibility as a minister.
06:42I would like to answer the last question.
06:56The government should not charge people with disabilities
07:09if they end up being paid with their lives.
07:14TENOM has made a lot of requests, especially from the clinics that I think
07:29should be seriously considered.
07:41I am reminded of the easier-to-pronounce and rhetorical mantra
07:51raised by the countries that sign any agreement.
07:59The UHC mantra, Universal Health Coverage, reminds me
08:07of the mantra of leaving no one behind.
08:19However, I will say it again, it is easier to be rhetorical by the health ministers
08:25around the world.
08:29However, to ensure universal health coverage,
08:33it means that no one should be left behind
08:39to receive medical treatment without experiencing any financial shock.
08:48That is actually the demand of the UHC,
08:51or Universal Health Coverage.
09:14And every minister has made a promise to fulfill the UHC demand.
09:23That is actually the dream of every government and health ministers
09:32who have raised the UHC agenda.
