“For example the Beaufort Hospital, we have already started placement of specialists. But we have to do the process in stages, depending on the available resources, including specialists and equipment,” - Sabah Health Dir Datuk Dr RoseNaniMudin.
She said this, together with other proposed upgrading, are already in the working paper being implemented by the Health Ministry. “Yes, it is being carried out according to what had been planned. The Health Ministry will look at the budget set and also the resources like specialists and equipment required for these hospitals,” she told reporters after attending the launch of the Oxygen for the People #SharingIsCaring Programme at Menara Kinabalu, here, Monday.
“Because most of the hospitals in Sabah are already decades-old, there are operation theatres that need to be repaired and equipment replaced,” she said.The department also planned to increase the number of operation theatres like for Tuaran Hospital where two more would be added to increase the number to four. “Also, to have complete manpower, we need to train them to become fully competent to perform surgeries and so on. So it is a process being done and will take time,” she said.
