No plans to build new public hospitals for now: Zaliha

SEGAMAT – The Health Ministry (MoH) will focus on improving hospitals and facilities at all MoH health centres nationwide.

Its minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa said at present, the ministry has no plans to build new public hospitals but to just complete what is already under construction.

“We will, however, focus on making improvements and upgrading the facilities at existing hospitals and health centres nationwide, including in Sabah and Sarawak,” she told reporters after distributing mandarin oranges to the public in conjunction with the upcoming Chinese New Year celebration at the U Sentral Segamat supermarket here today.

In another development, Dr Zaliha said MoH does not anticipate a surge in Covid-19 cases during the Chinese New Year celebration.

“Nevertheless, we will continue to be vigilant,” she added. – Bernama, January 14, 2023
