00:00Sarawak will work with the Federal Health Ministry to provide health care facilities in the state,
00:09including allocating funds where necessary, says Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg.
00:15The Sarawak premier said the cooperation included expanding the digitalization of public health clinics
00:21and provision of mobile dental clinics, based on the ministry's recommendation.
00:26For example, he said the ministry currently had eight mobile dental clinics serving the state.
00:49He told reporters, after launching the state-level cloud-based clinic management system,
00:55or CCMS, in Gedong on Thursday.
00:59The mobile dental clinics are to complement health care services, particularly in rural areas.
01:05With the mobile clinic, in my view, it's not necessary for you to have another component to the clinic
01:12because the past can come with certain schedules.
01:18Then you can display the schedule of the past.
01:23Then once the past is around, the people who need the treatment will be there.
01:28Abang Johari also said the Sarawak government had already allocated 10 million ringgit
01:34for the implementation of CCMS to 153 health clinics in the state.
01:40He also said the digitalization initiative will reduce bureaucracy for the health care profession,
01:46enabling patients to be served more efficiently.
01:48Health Minister Datuk Seri, Dr. Zulkifli Ahmad, who was also present,
02:01said Sarawak was the leading state in implementing CCMS,
02:05with 153 health care facilities equipped with the system
02:08and 70 percent of patient records digitalized.
02:12Nationwide, the system has been deployed in over 300 health care facilities,
02:17with plans for its expansion to 2,489 primary health care facilities this year.
