While Covid-19 continues to be the focus of the Health Ministry, its newly minted minister Khairy Jamaluddin plans to start returning other non-pandemic operations back to normal.

Making it part of his 100 days’ goals, the minister said efforts are underway to clear backlogs that were created since some services had to be halted or reduced when the pandemic hit Malaysia last year.

These include elective general surgeries and dental services.

"We will make sure that the backlogs of elective general surgeries, which have been postponed because of Covid-19, will be reduced by 20 percent. This is to be done within the first 100 days (of my tenure).

"This will be done by outsourcing the elective surgeries to private hospitals.

"For dental, we will also increase the capacity for procedures which had to be halted as they create aerosols, such as tooth filling and scaling.

"We will make sure 70 percent of our dental clinics reinstate all their dental services that we have put off due to the pandemic.

"This is what we are doing in getting our healthcare sector back to normal after Covid-19," Khairy told a special interview on Friday.
