RM13m to upgrade hospitals

NST: ALOR STAR: Nine hospitals and 51 health clinics in the state will be upgraded at a cost of RM13.4 million this year.
Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said the allocation was part of the RM7 billion stimulus package announced by the government last year.
"We need to improve facilities and services, as 85 per cent of the country's population require treatment at government hospitals and clinics," he said after inspecting the facilities at Pokok Sena district health clinic near here yesterday.
