Health Ministry Urged To Issue Guidelines On Health Care For City Folk

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- The Health Ministry has been urged to issue guidelines on health care for city folk if the air quality index in the Klang Valley deteriorates.
The guidelines were important to ensure the good health of the residents, Deputy Federal Territories Minister Datuk Zulhasnan Rafique said Sunday.
"If the air quality drops to a fretful level, we want the Health Ministry to give views and encouragement to the rakyat to do something so that the rakyat are healthy," he told reporters after opening a seminar organised by the Setiawangsa Umno division, here.
The air quality in the Klang Valley has registered an unhealthy level since last Friday.
