MALACCA: The Malacca state government and the Malacca Manipal Medical College (MMMC) will be jointly building a RM100mil Manipal Hospital here.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the 120-bed hospital would be built on a 6.5-hectare site in front of the MMMC in Batu Hampar, Bukit Baru in six months.
He said the construction of the hospital, expected to be completed in two years was in line with the state government's objective to develop the 12 subsectors of tourism including health tourism.
"The hospital will provide medical specialist services such cardiology, cancer and others apart from regular medical treatment with modern medical equipment," he told reporters after a visit to MMMC here today which was attended by college chancellor Datuk Ramdas M. Pai.
Mohd Ali said the state government was also proposing that MMMC conducts post-graduate courses in medicine and dentistry for its 1,500 students.
This is because the facilities at the college are among the best at medium cost to enable medical students to continue their studies. - Bernama
