Director-General Of Health Malaysia

YBhg. Tan Sri Dato' Seri
Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah
Menteri Kesihatan Malaysia

Kudos to the organising committee of the 23rd Family Medicine Scientific Conference.
Notwithstanding a fiendishly difficult year managing the COVID-19 pandemic, the fraternity
has persevered and worked meticulously to materialised this conference. I am convinced
that it took a strong team with tremendous effort to pull this through, with various COVID-19
related activities in the primary care, on top of ensuring the essential services in health
centres remain uninterrupted.

welcome the various appealing and pertinent topics assembled in this conference,
portraying a wide range of intricacies within the primary care providers, notably those that
require family medicine specialists' regular interventions, be it with conventional or new
cutting edge methods. Hence, the theme "Embracing Primary Care Evolution, Upholding
Core Values" is a shrewd selection, to reflect on the 'new normals' of operationalisation of
the primary healthcare services, in parallel with ensuring the values of patient
management are adhered to solemnly and with integrity.

Embracing the new normal, with the conference conducted entirely virtual, I believe this
conference will be of great magnitude for all participants.

Have a great conference!

Thank You

Menteri Kesihatan Malaysia

Upon officiating The 23rd Family Medicine Scientific Conference 2021, 22-25th September
2021 with the theme “Embracing Primary Care Evolution, Upholding Core Values”

Terima kasih tuan/puan pengacara majlis. Izinkan saya berucap di dalam Bahasa Inggeris
Dr Rohayah Ismail, the chairperson for this 23rd Family Medicine Scientific Conference 2021,
Dr Sri Wahyu Taher, the President of Family Medicine Specialist Association,
Speakers of the conference, health professionals, distinguished guests and members of the
media.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Assalamualaikum wbt and a very good morning. It is my pleasure to welcome all
participants that are here and virtually from all over Malaysia to the 23rd Family Medicine
Scientific Conference 2021. I welcome all the eminent speakers and guests from all over the
country from different walks of life that have been invited to share their knowledge and vast
experience in this ever changing world of medicine.

I would like to congratulate the organizing committee that has successfully organized this
event despite their busy schedule managing the pandemic out there. The theme
“Embracing Primary Care Evolution, Upholding Core Values” reminds us that the primary
care system has and continues to evolve, with many new and emerging tools for providing
care outside the traditional clinical settings and changing health needs following evolving
population demography. These evolution affects the dynamics of primary care in delivering
quality healthcare to the country.

Ladies and gentleman,
Primary care was first brought to attention in 1978 by the World Health Organization and
subsequently the US Institute of Medicine outlined the four essential elements or the core
value of primary care. They are: accessibility, comprehensiveness, coordination, and
continuity.

In ensuring that primary care adhere to this principle, we have equipped
ourselves in many aspects; first, the infrastructure for primary care underpinned by trained
professionals; second, enhanced technology in screening & diagnostics; third, digital
health; and finally, consumer tools. Primary care is recognized internationally as central to
health care. A strong primary care is associated with better population health, improved
patient outcomes, increased lifespan and lower-cost health care.

23RD FAMILY MEDICINE SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE 22nd - 25th Sept 2021

Covid-19 RTK-Ag Test. In 2018, Malaysia has reported a doctor to
population ratio of 18.9 to 10 000 population
which has increased from 10.8 to 10 000
population in 2008. There are also more than
1000 health clinics throughout the country
and about 500 Family Medicine Specialists to
ensure delivery of quality care in the country.
With Family Medicine now becoming the
foundation of primary care, we can see the
improvement in the clinical outcomes of
patients and the variety of services provided
for them.

Ladies and gentleman,
With the evolution in technology and medicine, practising as a doctor is very different
today than it was 20 years ago. Twenty years ago, only basic facilities were available in
health centers to manage chronic diseases; urine for sugar & protein for diabetes were the
norm. Glucometer was made then available, followed by HbA1c and urine for
microalbumin test, fundus camera with analog films which then upgraded to
digital images. This is just 1 of the many examples of evolution in primary care. Presently in
Type 1 to Type 3 health clinics many screening activities are available, such as screening
for colorectal cancer with iFOBT, osteopenia & osteoporosis with Bone Mineral Density, HPV
DNA testing complementing PAP smear, rapid tests for Dengue, Hepatitis C and of late,
Covid-19 RTK-Ag.

Traditionally, management of Tuberculosis, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), Hepatitis
C infection, were the domains of specialists in the hospitals. But not anymore. Even
custodial medicine, confirmation of drug abusers are edging their ways into primary care.
This massive evolution has blurred the demarcation between primary and secondary
care. This can further improves by having a unified system where everyone and their
immediate family has a family doctor and being cared by the same family doctor
throughout their live.

Ladies and gentleman,
Technology has become a crucial part of our
daily agenda. Patients’ care is made possible
in every circumstance and even better in this
digital era. Patients’ health record cards have
been replaced by electronic records, initially
with Tele Primary Care (TPC), now upgraded
to TPC-OHCIS. All the while maintaining
patient confidentiality with appropriate
health care workers’ role assignment.

The outbreak of the COVID19 pandemic has indeed accelerated the preparation and need
for digital healthcare. The news and report from the initial outbreak was shared faster
through the digital platform, allowing us to prepare ourselves to face this invisible army. We
soon realize the need to minimize physical contact with our usual patients while at the
same time maintaining accessibility and continuity of quality care for them, and this was
made possible with digital healthcare through telemedicine and virtual consultations.

KUALA LUMPUR 2021 “Embracing Primary Care Evolution, Upholding Core Values”

At present, many of the health clinics in the country are chosen as pioneers to do virtual
consultations with their clients. This is made possible and in time with strategic
collaboration between the MOH and its private partner. The virtual approach has allowed
for greater levels of doctor- patient engagement regardless of the pandemic situation. This
also significantly increases the geographical reach of healthcare personnel. With
appropriate use, we can improve patients' care through reducing patients’ drop-out and
continuity of care through this pandemic.

Other uses of digital platforms include e-learning, just as this conference is, to continuously
update the knowledge and skills of our healthcare personnel. In long, with adequate
promotion and encouragement, mobile-learning tools can drive greater preventative and
health-seeking behavior among patients and healthcare personnel.

Ladies and gentleman,
As the pandemic hit us in late 2019, primary health care had risen to continue delivering
healthcare while at the same time participating in controlling the spread of the deadly
virus. The frontliners in primary care are the first defense in combating this invisible foe, be
it in public and private sectors. The team has come together to provide services in many
COVID19 related activities, eg. the sampling centers, the quarantine centers, the COVID19
assessment centers and the vaccination centers.

With the Family Doctor policy, I belief, with some creative thinking and innovation, families
registered with a family doctor can be given COVID-19 vaccination as a family in a single
visit. With all the hive of activities and evolution in primary care, I would like to express my
gratitude and congratulate all of you for the hard work you have put in for the nation to
control diseases. We are all in this together and we will defeat the pandemic together.

Finally I would like to congratulate the organizing committee, the FMSes of Federal Territory
of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, led by Dr Rohayah who have contributed their time and
effort in making this conference a reality. Many of you had gone above and beyond the call
of duty to make this conference a successful and fruitful event for the fraternity.
Last but not least, let’s envision Malaysia’s future health system with an integrated health
system that is responsive and provides choice of quality health care, expanding universal
coverage for the health care needs of the population based on solidarity and equity. Prima-
ry care must leverage innovations to ensure that patients receive initial access, compre-
hensive, coordinated, continuous care that is woven into a seamlessly integrated system.

Let us all, as a nation, work together for better health and stay safe. On that note ladies and
gentleman, it gives me great pleasure to officially open the: 23rd Family Medicine Scientific
Conference 2021- “Embracing Primary Care Evolution, Upholding Core Values”

I wish you all a successful conference.

Thank you.

23RD FAMILY MEDICINE SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE 22nd - 25th Sept 2021

Welcome Message from Director,
Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur
and Putrajaya Health Department

It is my pleasure and privilege to extend a warm welcome to all our distinguished speakers
and delegates to the 23rd Family Medicine Scientific Conference organised by the Family
Medicine Specialists’ Association.

In line with this year’s theme : ‘Embracing Primary Care Evolution, Upholding Core Values’, I
do believe that all key relationships in primary care whether with patients, colleagues, the
wider health service as well as the local communities are underpinned by basic core values
passed down by tradition.

One of the greatest examples of primary care evolution is being witnessed during this
pandemic. The core values of primary care include compassionate care, a generalist
approach, continuity of relationships, reflective mindfulness and lifelong learning.
Concepts such as care coordination, preventive care, access to care, professional
competence, resource management and community-based care, are also part of the
principles above.

Primary care practitioners are challenged to guard these values, recognising that values
may be affected by evolution in health care and its delivery. Indeed, with the continuation
of the scientific conference which is virtual this year, it is evident that the evolution of
primary care is a conscious process that prioritises lifelong learning and forging
relationships.

The primary care team along with public health services, as well as the secondary and
tertiary care teams must work together towards a vision of a healthcare system where
quality care is accessible to diverse populations of Malaysia, promotes wellness and
disease prevention, reliably improves health outcomes and provides compassionate care
across the lifespan.

I believe that this conference will be of the highest standard and
wish you all an enjoyable and productive meeting!

Thank you

Welcome Message from
FMSA President

Assalamualaikum and Salam Sejahtera.

It is a joy to be addressing you again in this 23rd Family Medicine Scientific Conference
brought to you on a virtual platform. Welcome dear delegates in this very unusual
circumstances. We have enjoyed physical conferences all these years. This is the first time
the conference is held virtually. We must not blame the COVID-19 pandemic, in fact
because of the pandemic, many of us have becoming IT savvy. Not only that, we have now
become closer to each other because the virtual meetings are conducted more frequently
and conveniently at the comfort of our home. However, we do not want the pandemic to
affect our lives longer and we do need our livelihood and physical interactions back.

Congratulations to the organizing committee for tirelessly keeping up with the conference
progress and development. I salute your versatility, resilience and initiatives in order to
materialize the conference. I know you have been challenged with overwhelming
uncertainties, multiple changes in decisions and planning. Nevertheless, you have kept
your head strong, very motivated and full of dignity. These are the special properties of
family medicine specialists. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
Congratulations again.

As with previous conferences, the FMS Conference will only give you the best. The scientific
program is diverse and definitely there will be updates on COVID-19 pandemic. Influenza
vaccination is not to be forgotten and a tinge of Women’s Health completes the scientific
program. Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) therapeutic updates are essential despite
COVID-19 pandemic because those poorly control NCD patients will fare worse compared
to those who are under control. Sharing local experiences with our FMS colleagues will
enrich delegates and you will be more knowledgeable by the end of conference. To all FMS
trainees who have registered, I say thank you and you will not regret it. The conference
prepares you well in your zest to uphold the fraternity and taking over from the seniors when
the time comes. Thank you.

Finally, enjoy the conference and stay abreast with the latest
updates in family medicine. Representing the Exco Committee of
FMSA Malaysia and its members, my heartfelt gratitude and
appreciation for your support. May Allah bless us all. Stay safe and
stay healthy. Together we will win this war.

Thank you

23RD FAMILY MEDICINE SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE 22nd - 25th Sept 2021

Welcome Message from
Organizing Chairman

Assalamualaikum wbt and a very good morning.

It is my pleasure and honour to welcome all participants who are present here and virtually
connected from all over the world and specifically from Malaysia, to the 23rd Family
Medicine Scientific Conference 2021.

To all the renowned speakers and special guests representing the various sectors of the
society from all over the country, your valuable inputs in terms of value-added knowledge,
sound opinions and sharing of vast experiences in this dynamic world of medicine will be
significant in providing more impactful and accurate positioning in policy making, decision
making and establishing medical opinions.

Fellow delegates,

As we all know, primary care is an essential aspect of health care in any country’s health
system. Regardless of a country’s level of development, primary care continues to justify a
significant proportion of the nation’s health care expenditure. Understandably,
compromising with primary care quality can compromise on the basic elements of nation
building, specifically the health quality of the human resources, the necessary support
systems and the desired conducive environment for national development.

Over the past few decades, many aspects of primary healthcare have evolved in Malaysia.
This has been is made even more prominent and pertinent since the Covid-19 pandemic hit
the world population to highly worrying levels. We have been involved in managing
Covid-19 nationwide at primary care level including screening for Covid-19, managing
Covid-19 patients at CAC and also quarantine centres, handling Covid-19 Assessment
Centre Hotline 24 hour service and many more.

Locally, Covid-19 numbers has stalled at unacceptably high levels,
ranging from 18,000 to 20,000 per day with more than 12,000 deaths
since the pandemic hit the whole nation. It is clear that we have a lot
of work to do to realise our vision of achieving herd immunity. We
have worked conscientiously from setting up fever centres at our
clinics and administrating massive samplings for our community
day and night, to handling Quarantine Centres and most recently
early this year, managing Covid-19 patients at CAC.

01

KUALA LUMPUR 2021 “Embracing Primary Care Evolution, Upholding Core Values”

We faced various episodes of volatility, such as encountering unstable patients who
desaturated at CAC, the days when oxygen tanks were inadequate and human trauma
that at times involved even those who are known and close to us. Fast forwarding now, our
CACs are now better equipped with emergency trolleys, oxygen tanks, sick bays and even
early IV Dexamethasone treatment.

I must extend our utmost gratitude and highest appreciation to all health care workers who
had strived cohesively, worked with impressive commitment and proving much personal
sacrifices in fighting this war against Covid-19 in Malaysia.

Needless to say, new and unexpected challenges await all of us. There are factors that we
can control and factors that are out of our control. There are aspects that we can foresee
and those that arise unexpectedly. Whatever the situation may be, we must never put our
guards down. We must never allow ourselves to be engulfed into the comfort zone
syndrome. We must always keep our bearing in focus so that our consistency,
perseverance and diligence with be rewarded with the expectations that exist in everyone’s
minds: managing effectively the pandemic, regaining public confidence and learning from
what has happened so that we are better prepared for any similar eventualities.

It is also fair to reinforce the stark reality that our nation, society and all its sectors can no
longer be managed exclusively because each is intricately connected to others. On this
score, health care proponents at all levels need to be better informed, better equipped and
better prepared in conducting our respective roles within this complex set up. I believe the
conference will also allocate justified attention to this reality so that the outcome of the
conference will have a higher degree of appeal and acceptance to also the non-health
care population of country.

We always live with hope. Our vaccination programme has shown a significant better
outcome from day to day where we can see the number of Category 4 and 5 reduced,
usage of ICU bed reduced too and the society’s understanding getting more refined. We
hope that there will be the light at the end of the tunnel. I wish all the best to all involved !
Last but not least, I would like to congratulate to all who have made this conference a
potentially resounding success despite your daily hectic routine managing these Covid-19
field work, particularly the Family Medicine Specialist in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, Family
Medicine Specialist Association as well as the Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya State Health
Department.

Thank you so much.

“Mindful-Spa: for cultivating emotional resilience & preventing burnout”
by Low Mi Yen

ABSTRACT

Most of us globally lived with the challenges of Covid-19 pandemic coming to 1.5 years
now. Frontliners are a breaking point and we need everyone’s effort to break the chain
of infection. Many are experiencing prolonged fatigue and even burnout. Hundreds of
studies are pointing to self-compassion and mindfulness as the most powerful
resources to help us meet inevitable crisis and transform our experiences by providing
emotional strength and resilience. While we all have this inner capacity within us, but
when we are struggling and overwhelmed, we could not to practice /use these
self-compassion and mindfulness skills. In this half day training, Mi Yen will facilitate the
rediscovering of these capacities within us. Participants will be able to learn some basic
self-compassion and mindfulness exercises that can help all of us especially medical
frontliners, caregivers and those in other helping professions i.e. mental health, social
work, allied health professionals, etc.

Empowering Healthcare Provider with Exercise Prescription
by Professor Dr. Sazlina Shariff Ghazali, Associate Professor Dr. Cheong Ai Theng,
Dr. Abdul Hadi Abdul Manap

ABSTRACT

Physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyle are fast-growing public health problem that
leads to many non-communicable chronic diseases and health complications. In
Malaysia, the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2019 reported the overall physical
inactivity was 25.1%. However, 83% were physically inactive. Improving a patient’s overall
health through regular physical activity has proven effective in the treatment and
prevention of non-communicable chronic diseases such as stroke, diabetes,
Alzheimer’s disease and cancer, as well as reduced mortality. In order to achieve these,
for all health care providers (HCPs), regardless of specialty, to review and assess every
patient’s physical activity level at every visit. Patients should be counselled on exercise
regimens and assessed for exercise clearance and provided with a prescription.
Therefore, healthcare professionals should be equipped with the necessary skills, tools
and resources to prescribe exercise to prevent and treat common non-communicable
chronic diseases for patients. The aim is for physical activity to become a vital sign, with
HCPs routinely discussing the physical activity level with each of their patientsduring
patient visits. This workshop will be conducted by certified exercise prescribers and will
discuss on the benefits of exercise on health, pre-participation safety evaluation in
exercise and principles of exercise prescription. Participants will be able to participate in
a hands-on circuit on aerobics training, functional testing such as 6 minute walk test
and 3 minute step test, and resistance training.

1. Primary Care Governance & Service Delivery Reform: Why, How and When?
by Dr. Norsiah Ali

ABSTRACT

Primary care is the provision of integrated, accessible health care services by
physicians and their health care teams who are accountable for addressing a large
majority of personal health care needs, developing a sustained partnership with
patients, and practicing in the context of family and community.

Primary care has been regarded as the thrust of health care services worldwide. Primary
care providers sit at the point of first contact. It is very crucial to make correct decisions
at this level of care in order to ensure patient safety and good quality service delivery.
Moreover, patients come in undifferentiated manner as certain symptoms could
possibly reflect a few systems’ clinical presentation. Hence working at this point of care
can be very challenging. Therefore, a good primary care governance is deemed
needed.

Primary care governance comprised of five main pillars: risk management & clinical
audit, continuous training & education, evidence based, staffing & staff management
and patient & carer centred. It offers the opportunity to all healthcare workers in
primary care who actually directly involve in providing the services to take charge of the
agenda to improve the health and health care of their local population while at the
same time providing the accountability that is now expected. Primary care system
varies as some countries are fully funded by government, some based on health care
financing and some comprised of mixtures between government funded and private
practice with out-of-pocket burden to patient. Malaysia belongs to the third category
with very challenging issues especially in ensuring the five pillars of primary care
governance are being followed fully. As a result, quality of care may jeopardize due to
imbalance patient workload. When will the two wings of primary care providers merge
and taken charge by primary care providers itself is still a big question mark as there are
many factors and issues to be harmonized.

Over the years, there are improvement and promising future for implementation of
primary care governance in this country. It will take strong clinical leadership to develop
clinical governance to its full potential. Hopefully one day we will be there.

2. Peka B40: A Public-Private Integration Model for NCD Screening & Management
by Associate Professor Dr Mohammad Husni Haji Ahmad Jamal

ABSTRACT

This paper aims to highlight the concept of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) with a
focus on primary care and the deficiencies of the PEKA B40 program as a form of PPP.
Public-private partnerships are cooperative agreements between the public and
private sectors working together by various mechanisms to achieve their common
objectives. PEKA B40 is a health screening programme involving public health clinics
and private Malaysian general practitioners (GPs) which was launched in 2019 by the
Malaysian government. The purpose is for the early detection of non-communicable
diseases which are prevalent in the 40% low-poverty sector of the population described
as the B40 group. Although laudable, it has many shortcomings. Many GPs are still not
receptive due to various reasons. A Public – Private Partnership committee was recently
established between the Family Medicine Specialist Association of Malaysia and the
Academy of Family Physicians of Malaysia to create a framework of bilateral
cooperation. It is appropriate therefore for this committee to design a comprehensive
program that is mutually beneficial for a better PEKA B40 platform. Two relevant studies
are looked at in this context – the first is an expert panel recommendation for optimising
non-communicable disease (NCDs) management in the ASEAN region whilst the other
is an Indian study pertaining to designing a comprehensive NCD programme for
hypertension and diabetes at primary health care level. By adopting the principles,
outcomes and recommendations of such studies would be able to create a more
effective PEKA B40 program in the Malaysian setting.

3. Health Financing Reform to Achieve Universal Health Coverage in Primary Care
by Dr. Muhammed Anis Abd. Wahab

ABSTRACT

The current COVID-19 crisis has created an opportunity and provided momentum for
reform in the health system. Governments should adopt a problem-based policy
development approach in moving towards health financing reform. This begins with
clarity on the objectives and goals to be achieved, which should be to improve
population health, provide financial risk protection, and ensure citizen satisfaction, by
achieving equity, efficiency, effectiveness, and responsiveness.

Regardless of the label of a country's health system, all systems perform similar
functions in terms of health financing. This includes raising revenues for the health
system, pooling these revenues on behalf of some or all of the population, and then
transferring these resources to health care providers through strategic purchasing.
Health systems then need to make policy choices, either explicitly or implicitly,
regarding the benefit package or entitlements of the covered population.

A health financing reform focusing on primary care should be able to address
Malaysia’s epidemiological transition, as well as improve continuity, coordination, and
comprehensiveness of health care, thereby improving health outcomes and overall
patient experience.

1. Eliminating cervical cancer in Malaysia: What does it take?
by Professor Dr. Woo Yin Ling

ABSTRACT

In November 2020, the World Health Organization launched the strategy to accelerate
the global effort to eliminate cervical cancer. The strategy involves vaccinating 90% of
our adolescent girls with HPV vaccine by the age of 15, screening 70% of our women at
the ages of 35 and 45 with a HPV testing and ensuring that 90% of those with abnormal
tests receive the appropriate treatment. Malaysia made a commitment to work towards
those targets. This is achievable as we now have very effective tools to implement in a
country such as Malaysia. Furthermore, Malaysia has had a very successful HPV
vaccination program since 2010.

Like many countries, the uptake of cervical screening has been low despite it being free
in governmental clinics since 1969. And most women do not undergo regular screening.
The advent of HPV testing via self-sampling is set to transform the landscape of cervical
screening. Unlike the previous conventional pap smear which requires an
uncomfortable speculum examination to obtain cervical cytology every 3 years, HPV
testing from a low vaginal swab (Floqswab) offers much higher sensitivity in identifying
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

Malaysia is well-placed to achieve the cervical cancer elimination targets if we start
incorporating HPV testing among women who are eligible. The ability to perform
self-sampling for HPV testing only as few as twice in a woman’s lifetime is achievable.
Ensuring proper communication between women and healthcare professionals will
build trust and a workable system to ensure that everyone is aligned with this goal.
