Post-term courtesy visit to Dr. Yusuf, Pengarah of Jabatan Kesihatan Sabah










Post-term courtesy visit to Dr. Yusuf, Pengarah of Jabatan Kesihatan Sabah, was accomplished successfully at the 3rd floor of Wisma Persekutuan in Sembulan, Kota Kinabalu, this morning.

Dr. Yusuf was briefed on the latest development of the Ahli Lembaga Pelawat Hospital (ALPH) of Queen Elizabeth hospital, notably on the problems associated with the appointments, hospital management & ALPH relationship, and the performance of the committee members. The hospital management is especially mentioned to be more proactively to engage with the ALPH in order to bring more benefits to the community.

The Director agreed that more NGOs and female are appointed to extend the influence of the ALPH to reflect the main objective of the organization as 'the bridge between the community and the hospital'. The Director also urged to look into stepping up the interaction between the hospital management and the ALPH. Dr. Yusuf also wished that new teams of ALPH for all the districts in Sabah can be appointed sooner in order to move forward with all the planned activities.

There have been complaints on the reception of phone calls at the QEH, and the ALPH of QEH proposed that the state JKN to set up a special centralized complaint unit for the state to handle all the medical complaint calls with a toll-free line where the individual callers will be handled by professionally trained personnel.

The acute car parking woes at both the QEH and QEH II (formerly SMC) were raised and JKN has been urged to look into it seriously as public are finding it too stressful when visiting.

The reconstruction of QEH complex was discussed and agreed that it should be sped up for strategic consideration in terms of meeting up the expectation of the public as well as to pave the way for attracting and retaining talents to the hospital. The reconstruction also regarded as a basic foundation and turning point for regaining the public confidence in QEH.

The meeting lasted 1 hour, and ALPH appreciated the time taken for the short exchange of views on the hospital affairs, and looking forward to see more ALPH in the state to work cordially and efficiently with the hospital management in the year forward.

Dr. Pamela Yong (L4) and Mr. Chu Kong Ming (R5) co-presented the appreciation certificate to Mr. Ravi (L5), the CEO of Sutera Harbour Resort Group during a ceremony at the resort's function room in Kota Kinabalu. Looking on are other Ahli Lembaga Pelawat Hospital's members from both hospitals: Mr. Dxeter Lim (R4), Mr. Ong See Kwang (R3), Wong Pin Soon (Back R1), Ms.Margaret Lim (Back L4), Glenda (Back L3), Ms. Chong Len Len (Back L2), and Ms. Mary Lim (Back L1).

This is a joint venture effort between Ahli Lembaga Pelawat Hospital (ALPH) of Sabah Women & Children Hospital and the ALPH of Queen Elizabeth Hospital meant to raise 400 bags of precious blood for the unfortunate Thallasaemia patients group who requires clean blood transfusion almost every.

With the generosity of the management of Sutera Pacific Resort, we were provided free for the entire site of Function rooms 9 & 10 (and more than that during the 2nd day), and as well as some refreshments and foods.

The blood collection centre at the Sutera Pacific is by far the most comfortable one. For that, we appreciate so much beyond words.


The sponsors for the event were overwhelming, they were VICO & IndoCafe from DKSH, Veegood and Ayam brand, Jerneh Insurance, and some Pokka's Fuji Apple drink. Syarikat Lui Kim Chok Sdn. Bhd..

To the 200 donors during the two days event, We thank you very much for your kindness, compassion, and great contribution not only for your personal health improvement, but also help promoting the spirit and culture of helping each others.

It's not that everyones were qualified to give their blood for the Thallasaemia patients; for the lucky ones, you are indeed the Chosen Ones.

Two local celebrities bring joys for inmates in Ka'amatan & Wesak Day Celebration at Hospital Queen Elizabeth
27-May-2010 :-
Ahli Lembaga Pelawat Hospital (ALPH), PBS Wanita Tanjung Aru Division, UMNO Wanita Donggongon, and the Outreach Charity Group had successfully organized a ward visit cum celebration to the hospital old block at 2.00pm on Friday, 27th May, 2010, ahead of the Wesak day and the harvest festival celebration.


This joint event was very different from the previous one with the surprise joint appearance of two local celebrities, namely: En. Abu Bakar Ella, the Sabah icon for comedian performer, and the Akademi Fantasy singer talent, En. Felix Agus.


Their appearance had brought tremendous success to the event that they not only brought stunts to every ones in the wards, but also subsequently, brought back the lost smiles from some of the inmates.


Both of them, being idols for many locals, with especially En. Abu Bakar ella who had displayed his great public relationship skill by comforting some patients through his incredible touches, well wishes, and greetings.

It's a sensational moments for some who have been their admirers quietly for years.


It's hoped that the condition of the patients would improve more significantly after the joyous celebration.


Mr. Chu Kong Ming, Chairman of the LPH, said that the ward visit is a monthly scheduled event to inspect the premises and facilities. During the festivals, the visiting team will organize extra visits with some goodies for the inmates to celebrate, the move is meant to cheer up the already down moody hearts of the inmates there. He said that the kindness light shone by the two local celebrities is highly commendable and other celebrities should be encouraged to participate in similar charity events in order for them to seek meaningful life as a return.


The board is grateful, and particularly like to thank PBS Wanita Tanjung Aru Division for the on-the-spot approval of one unit 2.5 horse-power air-conditioner for the Neurosurgery Male Ward during the ward visit. Note that the air conditioner had been requested by the staff for more than a year and a half.


The much needed air conditioner is going to be arranged by Ms. Wendy Liew, and Datin Mary Yong who had seen the urgency; and hence the subsequent decision to grant the approval immediately without further delay.


For the information, the neurosurgery male ward has been requiring 3 units of 2.5 Horsepower air conditioner for almost 2 years - one unit was donated by one of the passed-away neuro patient's father 1.5 years ago, and the second one is due to be installed in 2 weeks time from the Ahli Lembaga Pelawat Hospital(ALPH), and the last one from PBS Wanita Tanjung Aru Division just mentioned.


Co-organizer of the event, Wanita UMNO Donggongon and a Deputy treasurer of the ALPH, Puan Nining Ballard, wished that the little token from the ALPH, PBS, and UMNO wanita movement can cheer up the spirit of the patients so that they will recover faster.


Puan Nining urged the public to be actively in participating in the various government's campaign to promote healthy living and lifestyles; and be generous in the blood donation campaign organized by the community through various organizations like (NGO).


Puan Maria Sandra Sho, who is the head of the Outreach Charity Group, and also the Deputy Secretary of the ALPH, wished the community donate generously their old cloths and toys for the junior patients in the outlying area of Sabah.


Especially mentioned are the various persons who attended the event, and helped, as follows:-
Ms. Wendy from Wanita PBS Tanjung Aru Division; the Secretary of the Wanita UMNO Donggongon - Ms. Florence Sua, Welfare Chairman of UMNO Wanita Donggongon - Puan Monica Apuk, Wanita UMNO Donggongon members Ms. Noridah Samat and Ms. Mary Jadion; and, Ms. Earlyn Lee and Caroline Manson from The Outreach Charity Group.
