PUTRAJAYA, Dec 21 — The Health Ministry (MoH) has allocated RM1.42 million for the upcoming year to 142 hospitals to enable the Board of Visitors (ALPH) to carry out activities enhancing service delivery and patient welfare.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said an additional RM5.1 million is also provided for 1,020 health clinics under MoH for related purposes.

MoH is always committed to improving the role of ALPH to be more efficient and effective to ensure that the institution remains relevant in line with the ministry’s direction.
Dr Dzulkefly said ALPH’s duties include providing welfare services to patients, like collecting books and magazines for patients to read and engaging in community hospital activities including blood donation and anti-smoking campaigns.
