MOH deserves a hand for the 'reality' check

Ok... some good feedback for MOH.... (I'm impartial)

MOH deserves a hand for the 'reality' check
Friday • September 21, 2007
Letter from Jeffrey Yeo
I REFER to the letter, "Give more thought to new ideas" (Sept 18). The issue of long waiting times at polyclinics has been around for some time. But due compliments have to be given to all healthcare workers and the Ministry of Health (MOH) in coming up with initiatives and ideas to arrest the pain of these agonising long waits.
The polyclinic is an important institution to many heartlanders like myself, as they offer affordable and quality medical services. While there is currently no perfect solution, it is comforting to know that agencies have taken the first step in bringing "reality" to members of the public.
The webcam system allowing members of the public to know the length of the queue will improve with time, as I believe MOH and the two healthcare groups will come up with a better framework.
Members of the public could and should play an active role in suggesting innovative and constructive ideas to help improve the process. Good healthcare involves both you and I. We, too, can help bring it to the next higher level.
