Overcome Hospital Congestion, Ordered Sultan Of Selangor

KLANG, Dec 4 (Bernama) -- Concerned over congestion at the wards of government hospitals, Sultan of Selangor wanted the Health Ministry to overcome the problem especially at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (TARH) here which at times exceeded full capacity.
"The people are placing high hopes on medical services due to the high level of awareness on healthy living as a result of good education and as such hospitalisation must be made comfortable," he said when opening the TARH Day Care Complex, here Monday.
Also present were Health Minister Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek and Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo.
Costing RM85 million, the day care complex which began operation in August provides a more effective, efficient and quality management of health services in a comfortable environment.
The Sultan advised the people to be patient and considerate when seeking treatment at hospitals for the medical officers were also ready to render a fast service.
In his speech, Dr Chua said Selangor would be among the states with a high standard of health service in the country and congestion at certain hospitals including in Klang would be overcome with the completion of three new hospitals in Serdang, Ampang and Sungai Buloh.
On a travel warning by the Hong Kong authorities to its citizens against visiting Malaysia because of a dengue outbreak, he said it was uncalled for and inaccurate information.
"Dengue is an epidemic that could happen anywhere," he said when commenting on the warning issued by the Hong Kong authorities after one of its citizens was infected with dengue fever after returning from Malaysia.
