Unfortunately due to work commitments only 7 doctors were able to join this years orientation course. Amongst those were Dr Jackson Tan (Renal Specialist), Dr Pg Siti Rafidah (SMO-ENT), Dr Rozzy Idros, Dr Firdaus, Dr Nora, Dr Caroline (MO) and Dr Hidayati (Dental MO).
The course which usually runs for 2 weeks usually includes lectures about the General Order (G.O.), briefing from all the various departments under the Ministry Of Health, visits to the 4 district hospitals and labs. But the highlight of the course have always been the overnight trips to Sukang and Temburong. This year however the Sukang trip have been cancelled due to the difficulties in acquiring transport.
But this year the venue was changed to the Outward Bound Temburong. We've heard from our previous predecessors their 'unique' experience of the Orientation.. (no names mentioned) but ofcourse the tradition continues... and what happens on the final night remains in the camp ofcourse..
The course designed to build a spirit of teamwork within the ministry of health has always been a success solely due to the hardwork by the main organizers, Malai Abdullah, Hjh Norsiah and the Gang. This year is no different, I'm sure everyone had a great time in Temburong. Let's hope Malai and the gang will continue to organize this very enjoyable course for the docs.
