Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Dzulkefly Ahmad officially resumed his duties to lead the Health Ministry (MOH) and has expressed his determination to implement a comprehensive digital health transformation agenda.
“I am grateful to the Prime Minister and the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for allowing me to return to steer and guide the MOH. InshaAllah, with this team, I will shoulder this heavy burden of responsibility,” he stated after symbolically starting his official duties by clocking in at the ministry’s lobby.
Dr. Dzulkefly, who arrived at the ministry around 8:15 am, was warmly welcomed by Lukanisman, Dr. Zaini, and Health Director-General Datuk Dr. Muhammad Radzi Abu Hassan. Subsequently, he attended a briefing session with the top management.
