In a commentary section in WHO website entitled “A country united in the face of the pandemic”, she said in the years prior to the pandemic, the government and the health authorities took great steps to bolster Malaysia’s health security and multi-sectoral response capacity for health emergencies and disaster preparedness.
Health services were swiftly enhanced to meet both anticipated and emerging demands, as the government operationalised the Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre at the national and state levels, and mobilised recruitment and redistribution of health-care personnel according to high workload areas.
Dr Lo said significant measures were taken by the Malaysian government to communicate with the public proactively. She added, the use of mathematical models to simulate the transmission dynamics of the virus in Malaysia helped to project scenarios of future transmission based on expected changes in the implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions.
