Do KAHs have a duty to be involved in the day-to-day operational issues?

Healthcare Services (General) Regulations, Governance of Licensees

Updated by MOH

KAHs are responsible for approving policies and SOPs for both corporate and clinical aspects of the healthcare service. The PO and, where required, CGO remain responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operational management.


As such, KAHs should take reasonable steps to apprise themselves of the implementation of policies and SOPs, and to identify any gaps or deficiencies in its implementation.
