KUALA LUMPUR – The Health Ministry will submit a list of dilapidated clinics to the Finance Ministry soon to obtain an allocation to restore those facilities immediately.
Its minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa said she understood the need to upgrade over 400 existing dilapidated facilities in the country.
“Therefore, we don’t choose between government or opposition constituencies…we should remember that healthcare services are apolitical, so we must attend to dilapidated areas no matter the political situation or the area,” she said during the committee-level wind up session of the debate on the Supply Bill 2023 for her ministry at the Dewan Rakyat today.
The Dewan Rakyat approved RM31.5 billion for the ministry under Budget 2023 at the committee level with a majority vote. – Bernama, March 21, 2023
