Transfer of power, budget, law amendments needed for a Sabah health ministry, says Yong

KOTA KINABALU: There needs to be a transfer of jurisdiction, budget from the Federal to state government, and amendments to the law if Sabah is to have its own health minister, says Datuk Yong Teck Lee.

The SAPP president, who previously explained that a Sabah health minister holds no power as the authority over medical services in the state comes under the Federal Government, said this was the way forward if there was a desire for a true state health ministry.
