14โ15 July 2025, Sarawak General Hospital:
For the first time in Sarawak and in Malaysia a Professional Healthcare Facility Fire Safety Management Training was successfully conducted at Sarawak General Hospital (SGH). This landmark event brought together 135 participants from across Sarawak, representing a diverse range of disciplines, including doctors, assistant medical officers (AMOs), nurses, environmental health officers (EHOs), concession company safety personnel, private hospital safety coordinators, and other related fields.
This training was made possible through the strong collaboration between the AMO Supervisory Unit and the OSH Unit of SGH, with crucial support from DOSH Sarawak, Bomba Sarawak HQ, JKR Sarawak, and One Medicare Sdn. Bhd. (OMSB). It marked a major step forward in fire safety capacity building within the healthcare sector.
Participants were exposed to a comprehensive approach to fire safety managementโcovering awareness, preparedness, response protocols, hands-on fire drills, incident reporting, and relevant legal frameworks and regulations. The training also included discussions on future fire safety planning in Sarawak.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the Sarawak State Health Department (JKNS) for their full support. As part of our commitment to building a statewide safety culture, the organizing committee proudly sponsored 10 seats for JKNS representatives, helping to further promote awareness and strengthen program outreach across Sarawak.
This event marks a new era in positioning Sarawak as a Healthcare Safety Hubโnot only for Malaysia, but also within Southeast Asia.
Special thanks to Mr. Othman Bin Buang, Head of the AMO Supervisory Unit, and Major Bersekutu (PA) Dr. Anantha Kumar Rajendran, for their tireless efforts in making this program a success.
More impactful programs are on the wayโstay tuned!
