" PUTRAJAYA, July 15 : Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai has urged doctors not to send suspected dengue patients home, but instead place them under observation in hospitals.Expressing concern over the management of dengue cases in hospitals, he said he had received complaints that some suspected dengue patients were sent home while waiting for the test results, instead of being placed under observation.
"I see a number of cases where the dengue patient died in the hospital just after one, two or three days of being warded. I want them (doctors) to look into the cases of death, how to minimise death,"Once you place them in the ward, it would be easy to monitor. Apart from that, the monitoring should be carried out more closely and efficiently, every four hours.
Don't send the suspected dengue patient back," he told Bernama in an interview.Liow said efforts would also be intensified to figth dengue as the ministry targeted to implement up to 1,000 Communication for Behavioural Impact (Combi) programmes nationwide to reduce dengue cases."
