Malaysia : H1N1 meeting to ensure agencies ready for the worse

Via The Star:

" The Health Ministry will call a technical committee meeting this week to ensure that all relevant agencies get the latest on the Influenza A(H1N1) and to prepare for any eventuality, said its minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.

“They are also to keep the public informed so that the public understand the situation clearly,” Liow said after launching the Healthcare Tourism Congress 2010 at the KLCC Convention centre here yesterday.

Liow said the growing number of A(H1N1) cases had yet to reach the stage of the first wave which occurred last year. “According to surveillance, clinics received only 1.14% of outpatients that had influenza-like illness (ILI)."
