Hospital To Be Built For Residents In Sungai Asap, Surrounding Areas

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27  — A hospital will be built at the Bakun and Murum intersection in Sarawak to meet the needs of residents in Sungai Asap and the surrounding areas, said Deputy Health Minister II Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang.

He said the construction of the hospital was included in the ministry’s long-term plan and the matter had been discussed with the elected representatives in the affected areas.

“We know that every year we have at least 500 to 600 patients  referred to a hospital in Bintulu for further treatment.

“This (proposed) hospital  will be built in a new township which will be developed in the area (near Sungai Asap),” he said during the question and answer session at the Dewan Rakyat today.

He said this in response to a question from Datuk Wilson Ugak Kumbong (GPS-Hulu Rajang) on the ministry’s solution to address the huge number of patients from the Sungai Asap area who were referred to Bintulu Hospital.

Ago also told the house that the ministry has allocated RM300,000 for an ambulance to take patients from Sungai Asap to Bintulu Hospital.
