Pool facilities, doctors told
KUCHING: Health practitioners in the state should pool their facilities and expertise in view of the rising cost of medical equipment and personnel, Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr George Chan said.
This would ensure that the latest medical facilities and know-how would be affordable to all, he said.
“Medicine is now becoming more expensive and Sarawak will not be able to afford the latest equipment and tools if we are divided into different sectors – government, private or teaching institution. So sharing facilities is a step in the right direction,” he said.
Speaking at the two-day joint Universiti Malaysia Sarawak-Sarawak Health Department medical colloquium here yesterday, Dr Chan said medical practitioners should also share their expertise.
