BATU PAHAT: The Federal and Johor governments will collaborate to identify dilapidated public health facilities that need upgrades to enhance public health services and improve patient comfort.
State health and environmental committee chairman Ling Tian Soon (pic) said several health and rural clinics have already been shortlisted.
“We have received many requests for upgrades. Last year, we upgraded 43 health facilities, including the Ayer Hitam health clinic with an allocation of RM1mil.
“And this year, 55 health facilities have been upgraded to date,” he said after visiting the new site of the Parit Raja health clinic here yesterday, Bernama reported.
Ling said the cnew Parit Raja clinic was crucial because the current facility could not accommodate the number of patients.
He added that the clinic, which has been in operation since 1967, serves over 400 patients daily.
