Ask A Dermatologist: How We Sweat

It feels like the world is becoming increasingly unsafe for children, even among their own peers, with more reports of school and peer violence among children and teenagers. Are children’s relationships today breaking down? We ask consultant developmental paediatrician Dr Rajini Sarvananthan and consultant child psychiatrist Dr Anita Codati what social-emotional skills children are lacking today, and what are subtle signs parents and teachers often miss before negative behaviours escalate.

This conversation will touch on topics of violence and self-harm. If you or your child is struggling with these issues and need emotional support, reach out for help from your community, or helplines like Befrienders KL (03 7627 2929), Talian HEAL (15 555) and Buddy Bear (1800-18-BEAR/2327), which is specifically for children. You can report bullying to the Anti-Bullying Tribunal here.

Spotting the Signs Before a Child Turns Violent

Who cares for a baby in the first critical minutes if the baby is born too soon or has a serious condition no one expected? On this episode of Humans of Healthcare, we speak to Associate Professor Dr Azanna Ahmad Kamar, Consultant Neonatologist at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre, about the demanding, highly technical world of neonatology. She traces her path from wanting to be an astronaut to becoming a neonatologist, describes the "organised chaos" in the neonatal ICU, and talks candidly about why Malaysia needs more doctors in this subspecialty.

Humans of Healthcare: The Neonatologist

The Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) is moving to make mental health protection a statutory requirement for employers. What does it mean for employers and employees now that psychosocial risk assessment and management is now an employer’s legal duty under the Occupational Safety and Health Act? Why should companies invest in this, and how should they go about it?

This discussion mentions suicide. If you, or someone you know, needs emotional support, reach out for help within your community or contact the Befrienders KL (03-76272929 or sam@befrienders.org.my), Talian HEAL (15 555), MIASA (1-800-1800-66) or AWAS Malaysia (Whatsapp 010-234 4808)
