The Ministry of Health (MOH or MoH; Malay: Kementerian Kesihatan) is a cabinet-level ministry in the government of Brunei which oversees the health system in the country. It is currently led by a minister and the incumbent is Mohd Isham Jaafar,[a] who took office since 1 December 2017.[3][4] The ministry is headquartered in Bandar Seri Begawan.
History
[edit]One physician from Europe was engaged by the medical service in 1939. In the reports that are available, no other doctors are named. Moreover, one student midwife and three midwives.[6] As of 1949, an officer of the Malayan Medical Service, which has its headquarters in Brunei Town, is in charge of overseeing medical and health management throughout the nation.[7] Early in 1965, the Brunei Medical and Health Department launched the region's first government "flying doctor service," continuing a British Army practice of delivering medical care to rural residents.[8]
Responsibilities
[edit]The ministry oversees four government hospitals and 60 health centres and clinics nationwide.[b][9]
As of 2017, the ministry has been responsible in enforcing 11 legislations related to public health, healthcare professionals (including dentists, midwives, nurses and pharmacists), infectious diseases, medicines, mental health, poison, and tobacco.[10]
The ministry manages the Brunei Healthcare Information Management System, commonly known as Bru-HIMS,[c] the national electronic patient record system.[9][11] It was introduced on 11 September 2012.[11]
The ministry also manages BruHealth, the national personal health record smartphone app which is integrated with Bru-HIMS.[12] It was introduced on 14 May 2020, initially as the national COVID-19 contact tracing app.[13] Access to personal medical records was eventually introduced in the app in September in the same year.[14]
The ministry is playing a key role in handling the spread of COVID-19 in the country.
Budget
[edit]In the fiscal year 2022–23, the ministry has been allocated a budget of B$392 million,[d] a 1.2 percent increase from the previous year.[2]
