Are we so incompetent, anything wrong must ask international experts?

[Papsmearer]

MRT train breakdowns must have an international experts to diagnose for us. Now SGH Hep C outbreak must also call international experts. Why we ownself cannot figure it out? We are more fucked up then I thought.

SGH Hep C cases: MOH to invite international experts to advise review committee
The Independent Review Committee is set to look into processes in both SGH and MOH to identify whether there are any gaps and areas that can be improved upon.



SINGAPORE: Minister for Health Gan Kim Yong will invite international experts to help and advise the Independent Review Committee (IRC) looking into the cause of the cases of Hepatitis C infections at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH).

He announced this on the sidelines of a community event on Saturday (Oct 17), where he also gave updates on the work of the committee.

Mr Gan said: "The committee has been working for the last 2 weeks, focusing on the cause of the Hepatitis C cases at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH), looking at how it happened and to also try to determine how we can prevent it from happening in future. The committee will also look at the processes in both SGH and the Ministry of Health to identify whether there are any gaps and areas that we can improve upon so that we can strengthen our system. I have also assured the Committee that SGH and MOH will extend our full support so as to facilitate the review and to ensure that it is a very thorough review."

He added: "The committee has requested that I invite some of the experts, including international experts, to help and advise the committee, so as to ensure that the review will be a very thorough one. I support the proposal. The committee will be following up on this proposal and will make further announcements when they are ready.”

In response to queries on whether any contingency plans will be put in place to prevent similar incidents from happening again, Mr Gan said a key objective of the committee is to identify areas for improvement.

"It is for this reason that we have told the committee that SGH and MOH will adopt an open attitude because it is only by maintaining an open attitude that we can extend the full support for their work so that the review will then allow us to learn lessons from this incident to prevent this from happening and to improve ourselves so that we can do better in the future,” he added.

On Oct 6, SGH announced that it was investigating a cluster of Hepatitis C infections in its renal ward. In total, 22 patients who were hospitalised between April and June this year were infected, and SGH said it cannot rule out that Hepatitis C could be a factor in the deaths of four of these patients. Another recent death is under review.

The IRC was then established to probe the Hepatitis C cluster at SGH. The IRC is made up of seven medical professionals from the Health Ministry, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, the National University Hospital and Changi General Hospital. They include renal and liver specialists, as well as a chief nurse - all of whom are experts in their own fields.

The committee has been given two months to complete its task.

As of 1pm on Friday, a total of 485 out of 678 patients have been screened for Hepatitis C, said SGH in a statement. Among them, 441 have received their results and all have tested negative. The results of the remaining 44 are still pending, while an additional 144 patients have already made appointments for screening.

The hospital added that it has screened 284 out of a total of 319 staff members so far. 279 of them have had their results released, and all of them have tested negative for Hepatitis C.

PAP needs to be replaced too.

 

[mojito]

So Papsmearer you agree ownself check ownself is correct?

 

[streetsmart73]

Hi there


1. The matter should be more than skin deep.
2. Everyone is taiching.
3. So an international panel is suffice.
4. At the end of the day,it's an honest mistake.
5. No head will roll:kma:

 

[virus]

if it is dishonest mistake how? August happen, October then report. Just like Naji, quietly pocket US$2.2bln until kena sexposed.

 

[borom]

If every time a cockup happens, they ask for outside help, it bring into question why we should be paying these people higher salaries than Obama.
Imagine the US, UK, Germany or Japan asking for outside help like this, heads will be rolling.

Are we going to ask experts from Pinoyland , PRC or India-since we import their "talents" by the millions yet in times like these, why these talents are of no help!
In fact there is a chance that with the hospitals flooded with Pinoys, PRC's and Indian FT's, one of these could be "involved".

 

[tonychat]

that is what your bunch of sinkie stupid fucks vote for..

i say liao, stupid people vote for a useless stupid govt..

you guys still stay there?

 

[Hans168]

YES it is the trend.......... make big money but also spend bigger money to get problems solved!!
Aren't we getting the best talents for the money we are spending? These millionaire CEOs must get their KPIs indexed to damages inflicted to consumers!!

ALSO UNLESS MOH DOES SOMETHING QUICK, WE WILL HAVE PATIENTS MURDERED BY INCOMPETENT F TRASH DOCTORS IN OUR HOSPITAL!!
SUGGEST THERE BE A SCHEME TO SIEVE OUT THE SHITS LIKE PUPILAGE SYSTEM IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION............ AS IT STAND THERE IS NO QC IN THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY WHERE THE UNQUALIFIED GETS FILTERED & DUMPED!!

[johnny333]

When I was younger the PAP would send Sporenas overseas to learn about how they did things overseas. They would then return & implement a localised solution

Now I guess the PAP is just too busy enjoying the good life e.g. playing golf, looking after their personal business interests, taking cooking lessons,....

They prefer to sub contract to foreigners to solve our problems. If anything goes wrong they can always deflect blame to these foreigners
Why then do we need to pay them million dollar salaries

 

[laksaboy]

It's called plausible deniability. The Sinkie term which most matches this in meaning is called 'cover your own backside'.

 

[greedy and cunning]

indirectlee implying that scholars are useless.

only good in scoring in exams.

 

[po2wq]

Even fucked up third world countries like India, Pinoyland, Indonesia, Kenya, etc. do not ask for outside help to figure out a train breakdown or an outbreak in their hospital. By hiring outside consultants, the PAP minions who were parachuted into their positions have just admitted that they 1) Have no idea how to do their job 2) they have not developed in house expertise to solve such problems 3) they have too much money on their hands.

What makes you think its not already happening? How many FT Drs are here with fake degrees, or have been banned from practicing in other countries, etc are working here and killing sinkies by negligence. Its just all covered up.

PAP Scholars use taxpayers money to socialise amongst themselves overseas. They only click together have no brains.

If what is suggested by the international expert works, they will pat themselves on the back for having the "humility" to seek outside "expertise".

If what they suggest doesn't work, it is the fault of the international experts and nothing to do with the pappies.

Heads they win, tails they don't lose.

When you got the money, you always win. That is why PAP is the best.

furthermore, these int'l experts will be told to amplify the fact that the systems in place are world class and surpasses int'l standards, giving them another opportunity to pat and self-masturbate one another....
the snafu that occurred would be deemed as human error and a one-off incident - both parties then come off smelling like roses, with one laughing all the way to the bank with taxpayer monies....

Conduct of election, they don't want international observers. Why?
