Big boost for Labuan hospital
LABUAN: The Health Ministry will upgrade the services at the Labuan Nucleus Hospital here.
Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek said the ministry had given an immediate allocation of RM500,000 to the hospital for the purchase of various equipment.
Speaking after visiting the hospital yesterday, he said, the ministry would send a paediatrician to the hospital.
Dr Chua said that the move to further equip the hospital and increase manpower was necessary as Labuan was a fast growing international financial centre and tourist attraction.
“Furthermore, there is no private hospital here that is more advanced than the government hospital and people – including tourists – have to rely on the government's services,” he said.
