KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Health (MOH) will ensure that the medical and healthcare needs of victims of the gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya, are fully met at the temporary relief centre.

“I found that healthcare services have not been disrupted, and we are also using MySejahtera, which provides us with immediate information regarding the medications required by these victims.
“Additionally, the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Service (MHPSS) is providing emotional support and helping to maintain the victims’ mental well-being,“ he told reporters after visiting the relief centre today.
