Farewell for Dr. Marzhuki and welcome Dr. Yusof

Health service in Sabah is going to change again with a new leader, Dr. Mohd. Yusof.

Dr. Marzhuki is from Kedah, the northern most state of Malaysia on the peninsula of Malaya.

He served only 22 months in Sabah, and now has to leave for his home state of Kedah.

ALPH of Queen Elizabeth Hospital had paid him a courtesy visit sometimes early 2009, the time during the height of the controversial SMC purchase. We had very good dialog and discussion on the problems arose from the unsafe declaration of the main tower block of Queen Elizabeth hospital.

Together with the QEH Management Team led by Dr. Zuraidah, he'd however handled the QEH fiasco quite well, and it's unfortunate that he can't be able to see it all through because of the transfer. His duty is now handled by his former Deputy, Dr. Mohd. Yusof, a local Labuanite Sabahan, who's now becoming the Acting Director to continue the tough challenges in Sabah.

We wish Dr. Marzhuki well in his next important position in Kedah.

Sabah is a large state compared to other states in malaysia.

Therefore, the new chief of the medical services in Sabah is not an easy post.
