Utusan Malaysia Online - Home News: " In KUCHING, Sarawak's demand for paramedics will be fulfilled with the completion of the Kolej Sains Kesihatan Bersekutu here in the middle of next year, Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr George Chan said.
He said the RM78 million college, in Jalan Penrissen, would have a capacity to train 1,500 students undergoing diploma-level courses.
'It is important to have sufficient health personnel with calibre to ensure that all levels of society, especially rural folks, can enjoy quality health care,' he said during the Kolej Kesihatan Bersekutu convocation here Wednesday.
Dr Chan said under the Eighth Malaysia Plan a sum of RM316 million had been allocated to improve Sarawak's health facilities, including the construction of two new hospitals in Dalat and Sarikei, five city and 11 rural health clinics and two training colleges, one here and the other in Sibu.
The implication of these improvements was that the Ministry needed more health personnel who were innovative and dedicated, he said. "
