KUALA LUMPUR - The remains of the five victims of the Flying Doctor Service (FDS) helicopter crash in Long Lellang, Baram, Sarawak, were handed over...
MMA is not calling for the abandonment of the Flying Doctor Service. However, an essential service cannot operate on the assumption that healthcare workers must accept every risk placed before them
Sarawak Health director Dr Veronica Lugah said there were currently 97 localities requiring FDS services, covering remote areas in Kapit, Miri and Limbang, most of which remained difficult to access and were far from adequate road networks
The victims comprised the pilot and four Health Ministry (MoH) personnel, including medical officer Dr Ainul Baroah Kamaruddin, a medical assistant and two nurses
Two Royal Malaysian Navy personnel injured in the Pantai Klebang helicopter incident will be moved to Lumut for specialised treatment, while investigations continue into the New Year’s Eve emergency landing
