Kuantan to be cardiothoracic centre

The Star Kuantan has been earmarked to be the next cardiothoracic centre by the Government under the Ninth Malaysia Plan.
Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob said he hoped the relevant authorities were doing all they could to ensure that the centre was set up before the start of the Tenth Malaysian Plan.
``You can count on the state government to do all it can to support this effort for the benefit of people in the east coast,'' he said in his speech at the 10th Congress Malaysian Thoracic Society (MTS) dinner here on Friday night.
