JOHOR BAHRU, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 January 2024 – While the Covid-19 pandemic may have abated, its enduring repercussions have reshaped lives and influenced the current landscape of healthcare. Dr. Kamal Amzan, CEO of Gleneagles Hospital Johor, documents the stages faced by the hospital in dealing with the pandemic, from the initial entry of the virus into the Johor region to the lessons learnt from addressing the global crisis, all in a new book entitled ‘Weathering The Storm.’
The book chronicles the lessons learnt from each phase of the pandemic, as well as how they contribute to a comprehensive approach to managing such a crisis. With a focus on the necessary steps that need to be taken in the event of future pandemics. These include: early preparedness, continuous adaptation, the importance of public-private partnerships, effective communication, and prioritising the safety and well-being of frontline workers.
Dr. Kamal Amzan, has previously written notable pieces like ‘Dissecting Malaysia’s Healthcare: The Great Dichotomy’ and ‘Understanding Independence: A Conceptual Shift,’ authored this eight-chapter book, aptly titled ‘Weathering The Storm,’ signifying a successful resolution following a challenging period.
