JOHOR BARU: The Health Ministry has given its word that it will help address the shortage of medical staff in Johor, says state executive councillor Ling Tian Soon.
Ling, who holds the health and unity portfolio, said the ministry’s top management visited the state’s two main public hospitals – Hospital Sultanah Aminah and Hospital Sultan Ismail – on Wednesday to get a clearer picture.
The Yong Peng assemblyman said these two hospitals were quite congested, adding that the specialist clinics at HSA and HSI tended to have about 1,800 and 1,900 patients daily. “This is to reduce the waiting time for patients with non-emergency cases such as flu, fever, cough and stomach ache, and take some pressure off the hospital’s emergency and trauma department,” he said.
“The hospital does not only cater to those living in Johor but also patients from Melaka, Pahang and Negri Sembilan.
