MELAKA, March 16 (Bernama) -- The Melaka government has approved an allocation of RM8 million to conduct repairs to 13 health clinics in the state this year.
State Health, Human Resource and Unity Committee chairman Datuk Ngwe Hee Sem said the clinics include those in Ujong Pasir and Jalan Gereja, Banda Hilir, and repairs were deemed necessary due to the conditions of the facilities.
"We have visited all the clinics and found the environment and facilities there required improvements as soon as possible to ensure the comfort of patients seeking treatment.
"We also found facilities there less than satisfactory… this not only affects the comfort of patients but also staff working there,” he told reporters here today after a state-level bubur lambuk programme that was attended by Duyong assemblyman Datuk Mohd Noor Helmy Abdul Halem.
Ngwe said that the repair project was at the tender stage and will be implemented after the tender is awarded.
"We hope that the process will not take a long time as the repairs need to be done immediately as there are clinics that have air conditioners that don’t function, lack of waiting areas and walkways that can be slippery during rain.
“We at the state health department are very grateful to the federal government for the approval given,” he added.
