PAPAR: The shortage of manpower and construction materials, in addition to the outbreak of Covid-19, contributed to the delay in the completion of upgrading works at Papar Hospital, says Dr Zaliha Mustafa.
The Health Minister said the upgrading process, which began in May 2017, is now 62% complete and is expected to be ready by the end of this year and commence operations in March next year.
"Although it is slightly behind from our expectations of 70% being completed, we will continue with discussions and monitoring between the Health Ministry, Public Works Department, contractors as well as other parties to drive this project forward," she said.Also present were Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali; Sabah Community Development and People's Well-being Minister Datuk James Ratib; and Sabah Health director Datuk Dr Rose Nani Mudin.
