Dear Readers,
e are back with the latest issue of Bulletin OHD to keep all abreast of the latest
happenings in the services. Disseminating correct and current information on events of
relevance to our far flung members is vital to sustain our bonds as the oral health family.
A quote from our Hon. PM during the 11th MAPPA, ―Whether we like it or not, civil servants
must think out of the box. I do not want a culture of automation to become the lifestyle of the
civil service. We must practice critical and constructive thinking by generating beyond the
ordinary, creative and innovative solutions‖.
As we saw during the recent Anugerah Inovasi KKM 2013 in Melaka for which the Oral
Health Division is secretariat, our dental staff do not lack brilliant ideas and innovative and
creative solutions. Some are major modifications, others minor adjustments but all add
significant value to the impact and quality of services provided to patients. Our staff have
been very active throughout the years generating award winning innovations. The challenge
now is to gather all these innovations, index them, and get them standardized and extended
to all our states, and even market some of them.
In line with the government‘s emphasis on transformation, we have to alter our primary
preoccupation with input and activities towards a focus on the benefits and outcomes of
these activities. The continuing confidence of stakeholders in our services rests on our
ability to produce results from the services we render, basically value creation and transfer
of that value to not only meet our patients‘ changing needs, but satisfy them as well.
Finally, always practise our 4 I‘s – Innovation, Inspiration, Integrity and Initiative and as our
DG puts it, servant leadership as we are here to serve the rakyat.
Have a great read and see all of you till the next issue………..

Message from
Principal Director of Oral Health
Ministry of Health Malaysia
ow time flies. We have passed the GE 13 and we now have a new line-up of leaders at the helm of the Ministry. On
behalf of the Oral Health Program of the Ministry, I extend a warm welcome to our new Honourable Minister of Health
YB Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam, our new Honourable Deputy Minister of Health YB Dato Seri Dr Hilmi Yahaya, our new Secretary
General, YBhg. Datuk Farida Mohd Ali and our new Director General of Health, YBhg. Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah. In addition,
we welcome our new Deputy Director General of Health (Medical) Datuk Dr Jeyaindran Tan Sri Dr Sinnadurai and most recently our
new Deputy Secretary General (Management) YBhg. Datuk Hasnah Haji Saleh.
The Oral Health Program has always strived as one big family, sharing common values and goals. I thank each and everyone for your
contributions in 2012, the year I took office, and I thank everyone, too, for renewed commitments early 2013.
The 35th Asia Pacific Dental Congress was successfully hosted by Malaysia from 8-12 May 2013 and the Division was a major player,
sponsoring 1,287 personnel to attend this prestigious event. The first-ever Malaysian Dental Therapists‘ Conference was also held on
5-7 April with a big turn-out of 630 delegates, including participants from Thailand and Singapore. These premier events and other
training programmes are much welcomed, in keeping with the emphasis on continuing capacity building of our human capital to keep
pace with the rapidly evolving field of dentistry.
The OHD has been working tirelessly on many fronts. After engaging the dental fraternity and other stakeholders in 2012, we hope to
table the Dental Bill in Parliament at the end of this year. Welfare and morale of staff is also a prime consideration. The proposal for
enhancement of the DSA scheme from U17 to U19 has been taken up by the ministry. The Program concurrently works for a better
career pathway for DSAs to enhance the training structure from certificate to diploma level. The program also looks for enhanced
career pathways for Dental Nurses (DN) and Technologists (DT) to make available degree courses. A group of 23 DNs and 11 DTs
were offered U41 positions as tutors at the Dental Training College, Penang, while at the same time having to successfully pursue a
degree program. The First-Year Dental Officers‘ (FYDO) programme was revised to suit present capacity and needs, the primary aim
to nurture proficiency, competence and confidence among new graduates. The gazettement guidelines and processes for professional
recognition of Dental Public Health Specialists have been approved by the DG of Health. In addition, 2012 and early 2013 heralded
the challenge of moving into training on Outcome-Based-Budgeting (OBB).
To increase width and depth of services to a more demanding educated clientele in the face of resource constraints, remains a
perennial challenge. The program cannot escape the need for infrastructure and equipment, the lack of which do not enhance service
delivery in spite of increasing dental officers. We must also look hard at human resource projections with the ever-increasing local
graduate output. Lack of DSAs now becomes a colossal problem pressing us to seek multi-pronged strategies to address this
mismatch. Rapid development of Urban and Rural Transformation Centres have stretched our resources. The program now
considers flexi hours and extended hours as well as mobile services to serve areas with high demand and high burden of oral
diseases. In these challenging times of need, collaboration and multi-sectoral partnerships is key to reducing the burden of the public
sector.
The reality of real time information and the younger generation‘s reliance on social media requires us to fathom these new media to
disseminate health messages and make visible our efforts. The OHD has embarked vigorously on this effort but the crucial need for
speed of information is still of the essence.
The above are just a few of the challenges that we face. I urge all personnel to not lose sight of our Key Performance Indicators and
oral health goals in our National Oral Health Plan 2011 -2020 for the benefit of the Rakyat. To them, we owe our existence, and we
seek to serve.
I thank the members of the editorial board for their efforts in putting together this issue of the Bulletin. God Bless.
Syukur kehadrat Ilahi kerana dengan Izin dan Inayah-Nya dapat kita bersua lagi dalam Buletin Bahagian Kesihatan

While the primary and secondary oral healthcare services of the Ministry
of Health continues to be strengthened, the Oral Health Division with the
state dental services and specialists at identified hospitals have been
cohesively working to establish centres providing tertiary oral healthcare.
These are:
1. Centre for Management of Oral Cancer and Jaw Tumours
(Centre for Oral Oncology)
Hospital Umum Sarawak, Kuching, Sarawak.
Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah ,Kalng , Selangor.
2. Centre for Management of Maxillofacial Trauma
Hospital Sungei Buloh, Selangor
3. Centre for Management of Oral and Maxillofacial Deformities
Hospital Tuanku Jaafar, Seremban, Negeri Sembilan
Hospital Selayang, Selangor
Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II, Kota Bharu, Kelantan
The centre at Hospital Tuanku Jaafar conducts orthognathic surgery,
while surgeries at the latter two centres are particularly for the
correction of Cleft Lip and Palate.
4. Tertiary Referral Centre for Oral Maxillofacial Surgery
Hospital Kuala Lumpur
5. Centre for Management of Special Needs Children
Paediatric Institute in Kuala Lumpur
These centres are ably led by the Senior Consultant Dental Specialist at
the various hospitals. Patients at these centres are managed in a
multidisciplinary fashion, involving other dental specialists, such as
orthodontists, oral pathology and oral medicine specialists, periodontists,
restorative dental specialists and the special needs dental specialists.
Supporting staff also comprise important members of the team.
Over the years, suitable state-of-the-art equipment have been procured
befitting centres of such stature. In addition, advanced training to further
develop the specialists‘ competencies and expertise as well as members
of their team has been provided through funding for in-service and
special interest training, mainly at centres abroad. It is hoped that with
the establishment of such centres, Malaysians will have access to high
quality specialized oral healthcare
