PETALING JAYA: Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah is among the “top doctors” in the world named by a Chinese TV station for his approach in handling the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to a report from China Global TV Network , Dr Hisham is one of the three leading doctors in the fight to stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus, along with the US' infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci and New Zealand’s director-general of health Ashley Bloomfield.
Dr Hisham, who has a Masters in Surgery and Medical degree from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, joined the civil service as a medical officer way back in August 1988. Dr Fauci, 79, is reported to be working nearly 16 to 18 hours a day for the past few weeks, prompting people to be worry whenever they don’t see him during a White House briefing.
