What is MOH doing to ensure that Influenza A (H1N1-2009) is not transmitted here?
MOH maintains a comprehensive and well established disease surveillance system for the early detection of human cases of novel influenzas such as influenza A (H1N1-2009). In addition, MOH has alerted all medical practitioners and staff in hospitals, national centres, medical clinics and polyclinics to update them on the outbreak of influenza A (H1N1-2009) and to advise them to be vigilant and take the necessary precautions in line with our alert status. When the situation warrants, MOH will step up public health measures as necessary in accordance with our pandemic response plan.
