KUCHING, Jan 23 — Sarawak’s mortality rate among infants aged five years and below is 14 per cent higher than the national average, according to Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Sri Dr Sim Kui Hian today.
“Why do the Bumiputera communities have a very high mortality rate among infants? This is because the health infrastructure and equipment are lacking due to insufficient funding by the federal government,” he told reporters at his Chinese New Year Open house. He said the state Health Department also does not have enough manpower, such as nurses and other medical personnel.
