Cancer Centre In Brunei


Why is Brunei still "mulling" this issue? Wasnt the Jerudong Medical Centre supposed to be Brunei's Heart but also its Cancer Centre?


Can Brunei be a regional Cancer Centre? How, when even in Jerudong Medical Centre, they are having difficulties trying to attract good and experienced doctors? How can they work well when facilties are still not up to international standard (its been 8 to 9 years already since Amedeo collapse). Who are going to finance and invest in this project?


A lot of people (Bruneians) either fly to Singapore or Kuala Lumpur to seek medical assistance basically because of its of better quality. I heard recently that an normal kidney stone removal operation went into some problem in the local hospital... you see, even simple procedure cant even be perfected....and in many western countries, they use lazer to demolish kidney stones. In Thailand, many vain people are going there to have simple surgery to reduce the fat not only on their body but also on their faces! Indeed, any form of healthcare services are worth the investment since people tend to live longer need the services throughout their lives one way or the other.


No offence, but I wish the Ministry would just put more effort and investment in the healthcare services, so that our healthcare services could be one of the best in SEA Region as it was during the 1970s and 1980s. Easier said than done.... many things are here in BRunei since priorities are very different...
