Organised and crystallised information will give medical personnel the best chance to defeat the virus. FMTNews Covid19 Research
We are absorbing a torrent of Covid-19 information that is vague, non-evidenced, of low research value, transient, developing and changing.
Medical practitioners need to get more organised knowledge or information through some form of grouping for discussion and research by topics, disciplines, interests, subspecialities, medical societies, etc, and focus on our prioritised end-point needs. This would be more productive and useful not only for any individual doctor or healthcare worker but also our disciplines and workplace.
The health director-general and state directors are doing an excellent job administratively but we cannot just rely on Putrajaya alone in the creation of knowledge about Covid-19. In fact, it should come from all doctors and specialists, including paramedics in the public and private medical sectors and especially from medical universities.
I have discussed my opinion with four medical deans or former deans. A Covid-19 medical information centre is needed right now – to prevent a museum built over dead bodies. We have to work at great speed, otherwise all will be lost. The formulation of directives at the director-general level is, of course, most difficult. But to leave it to him alone is not the best option while we just do the minimum individually. We have to come out of our own cocoons and selfishness and do our best and contribute at various levels .
