8. Final Messages and Summaries by the panellists

● Dr. Rozita bt. Zakaria

In summary, we are still seeing our maternal and child health patients. We are doing it as usual
but in a different manner. We are embracing the new norm. Remember to practice the 3Cs and
the 3Ws not only outside the healthcare facilities, but within the healthcare facilities as well.

● Dr. Tan Soek Siam

When it comes to liver disease, it is a double edge sword. COVID-19 patients can develop
deranged liver function and liver biochemistry. Patients with pre-existing chronic liver disease
would fare worse when they are diagnosed with COVID-19. So, we would have to look after this
group of patients as well.
● Dr. Vanitha A/P R. Thangaratnam

Hospice care still persists during this pandemic, whatever challenges we face, we would still
persist on.
● Sunita Kaur A/P Manmohan Singh

Despite the challenges we face as mentioned by Dr. Vanitha, we at Kasih Hospice will do our
best in trying to provide hospice services within our areas of coverage.
