A total of 401 projects to upgrade clinics and strengthen healthcare facilities nationwide are in progress this year, said Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad.
The estimated cost for these projects is RM150 million, he added.
He said in Sabah alone, 55 of these projects, costing RM21.5 million, are underway and expected to be completed by the end of the year.
“We are committed to completing these projects soon,” Dzukefly said to the media in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, yesterday.
He was speaking after launching the national-level World Malaria, Tuberculosis, and Leprosy Day event at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS).
Sabah Health Department director Dr Asits Sanna was also present.
Dzulkefly also said three “sick” projects under the Health Ministry in Sabah have been identified - construction of the Sikuati Health Clinic in Kudat, as well as upgrading works at Papar Hospital and Tambunan Hospital’s outpatient department.
