Najib names free clinic after father
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has had a free clinic named after his late father, former Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak Hussein.
The clinic, to be run by doctors serving in the armed forces and other volunteers, will offer treatment to those suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney-related problems.
Najib, who is also Defence Minister and Member of Parliament for Pekan, said many people in the constituency had approached him about their health problems.
"I think it is appropriate to start a clinic that offers free treatment and medicine to those in need," he said at the launch of the clinic yesterday.
The clinic is housed in the former residence of the nation's second Prime Minister, Najib's father.
Najib also paid tribute to Yayasan Sinar Malaysia and its chairman Hashim Tan Abdullah for their role in realising the project.
Later, he launched a mobile clinic to provide medical services to areas within the Pekan constituency.
