The Putrajaya and Selayang hospitals are already in operation while the Sungai Buloh and Ampang hospitals are expected to be handed over to the Health Ministry by the Works Ministry this year.
“The hospitals would continue to provide normal medical treatment to patients,” Dr Chua said.
Speaking to reporters after witnessing the handing-over of the Serdang Hospital to the ministry, he said the hospital would cater to more than 300,000 residents from Puchong, Serdang, Putrajaya and the north of Seremban.
“The hospital is expected to be opened in July with a staff strength of 400,” he added.
Earlier, Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu and Dr Chua witnessed the handing-over of the certificate of fitness for the hospital by Public Works Department director-general Tan Sri Zaini Omar to Health Ministry secretary-general Datuk Ismail Adam.
The RM687mil hospital is equipped with modern high-technology systems and energy-saving features. It also has 20 operation theatres and 19 hospital wards.
