KUCHING, April 14 ― Palliative care services will be vital in the state as Sarawak is set to have its own cancer hospital in the near future, said Deputy Premier Datuk Seri Dr Sim Kui Hian.
Dr Sim, who is also Public Health, Housing and Local Government Minister, pointed out that cancer is the second most common non-communicable disease in Sarawak, with over 3,000 cases diagnosed a year. “This commitment of Lien Foundation and APHN is very meaningful as it contributes to not just healthcare building but also nation-building in Sarawak,” he said.
“In the past, we did not have enough manpower but now we have enough manpower, and we know what to do with our healthcare. So, we want the autonomy back to Sarawak,” he said.
