00:00The Ministry of Health of Malaysia, since January 2024, I took this initiative, the KKM has established an advisory and medical advisory and action committee, or MAAC,
00:24which is made up of 10 clinical experts who are on the front lines in hospitals, KKM hospitals.
00:32For this victory, the work time is too long, maintaining the health of the patient and offering a balance between life and work, work-life balance, in the medical staff.
00:46MAAC has received feedback from the medical staff in several departments that have high intensity workload.
00:59Among the results is a new approach to work schedules, which differs from the on-call system and the shift system.
01:14This system is built by doctors on the ground for doctors on the ground.
01:19After taking into account the various inputs from the stakeholders in various levels,
01:26their efforts for a year found that there was an urgent need to improve the work schedule system.
01:38Obviously, when working remotely or WBB, there is an additional system choice.
01:47The choice of any work schedule is related to the ability and readiness of the departments and the management of certain hospitals.
02:01Surat Edaran is made so that the ground is ready before the Rintis project is carried out.
02:08That is what has been leaked.
02:14Unfortunately, the Surat Edaran has been leaked to the public by those who are irresponsible and have misunderstood the meaning, purpose and function of WBB.
02:30The reason why we have the Rintis project is to implement it so that any shortcomings of the proposal can be improved.
02:43For that, the management session with the medical staff in the units involved will be continued.
02:51And the results will be conveyed directly to me for further consideration and action.
02:59Do you mean that there will be a decision before the Rintis project is carried out?
03:05Let me repeat. This is the Surat Edaran for this Rintis project to be carried out.
03:11The Surat Edaran has been established since February 1.
03:20This is the Surat Edaran that can be carried out.
03:30To pass the WBB, it requires approval from the minister and the JPA.
03:39This is an internal matter. Whether they want to execute it or not, it is up to MACC.
04:01But as to the overall implementation of the WBB, it requires approval from the minister and the JPA.
