No baby twins abducted, but hospitals to tighten security measures: Health Minister

Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad dismisses abduction rumours, assuring public that patient safety remains a top priority

KUALA LUMPUR – The Health Ministry will be enhancing its security protocols across all hospitals to prevent any potential incidents, following recent concerns over safety, said Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.

Addressing the allegations of a pair of twins being abducted by an individual posing as a doctor, Dzulkefly affirmed that patient safety remains a top priority for the ministry, which is taking the matter very seriously.

“We will continue to enhance our SOPs and security controls. We’re not taking this (allegation) lightly — it’s a wake-up call for us to keep improving the effectiveness of our systems and regulatory measures,” he said, as quoted by Bernama.

The minister made the statement during a press conference after launching the World Physical Activity Day (WOPAD) celebration, which was held in conjunction with the Car-Free Day initiative in Putrajaya.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa also attended the event.

Yesterday, the management of Hospital Kuala Lipis filed a police report after claims surfaced that a pair of twins, who had been treated there for nine months, were abducted by a fake doctor.

The Pahang State Health Department responded by clarifying that no twins had been treated for nine months in the hospital’s paediatric ward. The mother of the alleged twins had last sought treatment at the hospital in July 2024.

Additionally, an investigation revealed no record of a doctor named “Dr Amalina Husna” working at Hospital Kuala Lipis.

On a separate note, Dzulkefly also highlighted plans to expand the “Putrajaya Sihat Sejahtera” (PSS) programme to civil servants in the states. The initiative, which has been successful in Putrajaya, has seen over 60,000 civil servants from 25 ministries and government agencies participate.

The PSS programme aims to foster a healthier and more productive civil service, thereby contributing to the country’s development. – April 13, 2025
