melbourne experience: hospital in the home
By al-Din on October 12, 2010 10:55 PM
Sixty years ago the people of the Federation of Malaya was served by 57 hospitals. If there was ambulance service at all it would be meagre. Taking the effective radius of each hospital to be 12 miles meaning that the rural populations were not or hardly getting health service. There was preponderance of Chinese and Indians admissions then but the Malays had a natural reluctance even to get hospital treatment.
Nowadays with the superb transportation and communication systems, the numerous hospitals and ambulance services can serve wider areas and more people. Even then there is a neglected segment of the population, pockets of Orang Asli who are less mobile in the off-road jungles not getting the barest health care services whatmore ambulance privelege.
Luckily for Dolah, my OA friend has a motorbike and was able to send his sick wife to hospital. When the wife was critically ill the ambulance sent her from CHighlands to Ipoh GH. Dolah accompanied her but had to spent nights along the ward corridors. Somebody conned his watch one night. His wife died and was buried in an isolated belukar graveyard by a stream. So much for our Muslim original people!
Postcript: Dolah's hut-house got burned down some months ago. He had requested for aid from JHEOA but to no avail. I too had reported the matter.
