"Generally, to me, it (GEG policy) has its advantages, but I have to look at its the implementation process once we have reached a decision as it cannot be drastic...," she said when appearing as a guest on Bernama Radio's Bersama Pemimpin programme here today. Dr Zaliha said that in helming the ministry, she was open to receiving advices and suggestions from former health ministers and stakeholders. As Malaysia's first woman health minister, Dr Zaliha said her biggest challenge was to maintain excellence in the ministry and improve the country's healthcare services. The bill was tabled for the first reading by former health minister Khairy Jamaluddin on July 27, but was later referred to the Parliamentary Special Select Committee for fine-tuning.
