00:00Today, Code Blue has released that KKM plans to create a platform for mutual exchange, can you tell us a bit about it?
00:11Yes, Code Blue can mention that and we are honestly one of the ways for me to deal with the issue of human resources
00:24and this is a new thing, we are discussing it with Hangat, hopefully we can create a platform for mutual exchange
00:39of course it has to be like-to-like, doctors to doctors, not only doctors but also specialists, or even nurses
00:50so yes, we really want this thing to be given, because this is for the welfare of our healthcare workers
00:59we are looking to this seriously, and hopefully in the third quarter, fourth quarter, third quarter we should be able
01:10I hope so, I don't promise but we will try in the deadline
01:15In the meeting, he mentioned that the Deputy Secretary of Finance, Nur Azman Ayub said that the launch is scheduled for 1st of June
01:23can we reach 1st of June or not?
01:26If we want to set the deadline, we have to work hard for that, if we fail, I think we also need to be given
01:34the question is, if that thing is under our control, so the challenge is on us, the onus is on us to deliver
01:43this is not a new thing, we are discussing it, ever since I came back, we have been discussing it
01:51so it's just a question of how to have a system that can implement this so well
01:56and it can be self-regulating, and we are just taking in terms of administrative matters at the end
02:07so they can do their exchanges and discussions in the platform
02:13In your opinion, is there a way to solve the burn-out problem when it is placed far away from home?
02:20It will have to be a multi-pronged approach, and it's not just this system, but it's a multi-pronged approach
02:37so among other things we have to pay attention to, is there an acute shortage? Is there a maldistribution?
02:45Do we have to fix the distribution? What are the metrics that the doctor should be giving?
02:58What setting? All those are different settings, and also different needs and demands
03:04So we will be looking at all this, and we will also be having our retreat
03:12Inshallah, within this year we will certainly, but I don't promise when, but we are already there
