![]() Pusat Jantung Sarawak administrators are also refusing to take our patients, despite being cleared of Covid, and refusing to send help over and instead are hoarding manpower and resources. ![]() Higher-ups spend more time squabbling over who gets to keep more wards for themselves and keeping themselves “clean”. We also heard rumours that people in the ops room and hospital directorates are spending more time bickering over small issues and squabbling, rather than deciding on a proper solution. So when the Health DG mentioned that people will be pulled in to cover us when we are in quarantine, it is not true and he is probably ill-informed (maybe there has been a cover-up by higher authorities). There have been countless examples of HCWs being picked up as positive and ending up bringing down at least 10 more colleagues due to quarantine. We are kicked out of our own wards without notice and asked to manage our department patients in a different ward.Īll of us are also asked to go for swabs by ops room (claiming to be a hospital-wide screening programme), but were asked to go back to work despite not knowing our Covid status. Ward allocations are changing every day and we at ground level are asked to relocate from a different place to different place like refugees during a war. We can go to sleep and wake up with a string of new messages detailing changes in hospital policy, and this is happening on a daily basis. Things did not improve, however, and continued to spiral out of control as policies change daily like a person changing clothes. Our HCWs’ quarantine centres were also allocated badly (for example: poor living conditions, fungus-infested rooms etc). Testing and quarantine of the health care workers were haphazard - all were asked to come back early despite having Day 13 swabs pending, ultimately leading to disaster, with spread among health care workers (HCWs) running rampant and quarantine of HCWs left, right, and centre. The ops room has been the one deciding on hospital policies, standard operating procedures (SOPs), workflows etc in the hospital and relaying it to us via our superiors.Ĭracks start to appear with the aforementioned case mentioned by the article on Malaysian Insight by “a concerned citizen”. As you have known, yesterday was a day of exposé for SGH and this is just to add the story of our life at ground level.įrom the start of the Covid-19 outbreak in Kuching, SGH has been led by an operations team (nicknamed ops room) in SGH consisting of administrators. ![]() I am writing this email with the intention of exposing the frustrations felt as a worker at ground level at Sarawak General Hospital (SGH). ![]()
