Slow updates, vaccine shortage: Health Ministry must improve crisis management

As the spread of the H1N1 virus remains a risk, it is vital for the Health Ministry (MoH) to improve on the efficiency of giving updates as well as the provision of vaccine supply.

MoH had claimed that they needed more time to confirm the cases and to collect relevant statistics before giving updates on the current situation. This is largely worrying, because updates being untimely may lead to anxiety and uneasiness among the masses.
