Got money 1Care, no money 0Care

MOH caught lying through their teeth about 1Care...and here's proof!

On February 9 Dr Rozita Halina Tun Hussein briefed the press about 1Care, saying “It is still in the conceptual stage. We are working out the details.” She added that the ministry was looking at existing models in other countries.

But in January 2012, Dr Rozita spoke at an international healthcare conference, where she shared specific details of Malaysia's creation of 1Care.

This excerpt is from the conference's introduction of Dr Rozita as a speaker:

"THE CONCEPT CALLED 1CARE FOR 1MALAYSIA HAS BEEN *ACCEPTED* by the Government of Malaysia. Currently Dr Rozita and other colleagues in MOH works and communicates with various stakeholders of the health system are developing the blueprint for phased implementation"

Please share this FACT with everyone, especially those who think the MOH's "explanations" are acceptable!
