Strengthen health expertise in government decisions


THE Malaysian Health Coalition welcomes the appointment of Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood as the special advisor to the Prime Minister for Public Health effective April 1,2020. Her experience, stature and networks of trust will strengthen Malaysia’s responses to Covid-19. We will provide her our fullest support.

During this crisis, we understand that government decisions have good intentions but steep trade-offs. We believe that stronger public health expertise in the National Security Council and other ministries will help manage the unintended consequences of any decisions.
