KUALA TERENGGANU, Dec 16 (Bernama) -- Patients in Terengganu no longer have to seek specialist treatment in Kelantan or Pahang when two private specialist hospitals open here next year.
State Welfare, Health, Community Development and Women's Affairs Committee chairman Datuk Rosol Wahid said Friday that the hospitals, located in Jalan Batas Baru and Jalan Kamaruddin, would be operational in September.
Speaking to reporters after closing a Gastroenterology Symposium at the Kuala Terengganu Hospital (KTH) Day Care Treatment Centre here, he urged patients who were better off patients to go to the private hospitals so that the low-income patients could go to the government hospitals.
He said the state government would contribute 60 beds for the isolation ward of the hospital next next year to house suffering from dengue fever, bird flu and diarrhoea.
He also said that the operation theatres at the Kuala Terengganu and Kemaman hospitals had been repaired and would be operational soon.
