Segera tubuh Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Kesihatan, kerajaan diberitahu
Bekas menteri kesihatan Dr Zaliha Mustafa berkata suruhanjaya itu penting bagi kukuh kebajikan petugas kesihatan negara.
Former Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa has called on the government to speed up the establishment of the Health Service Commission as part of a comprehensive healthcare reform. The call comes in the wake of a helicopter crash in Sarawak, which claimed the lives of five health workers. Zaliha highlighted the challenges and risks faced by healthcare workers in remote and difficult-to-access areas, as well as the ongoing issues surrounding the deployment of Air Corps personnel.
She proposed the need for a dedicated mechanism to manage healthcare workforce more effectively, noting that such concerns have been raised since November 2025. The incident, which occurred near Long Lellang Short Take-Off and Landing Airport, resulted in the loss of pilot Zainol Afiq Bee Sham, doctor Dr Ainul Baraah Kamaruddin, medical assistant Alexson Adit Henry, and nurses Debra Moset and Jessie Paya Jok.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) confirmed receiving information about the incident from Air Traffic Control at 3:58 PM on the day of the crash, and the helicopter was on an Air Corps operation.
