KUALA LUMPUR: Putrajaya Hospital is presently still able to meet the treatment and medical needs of the surrounding population, says Lukanisman Awang Sauni.
The Deputy Health Minister said this is because the surrounding population can also seek treatment at other nearby health facilities, such as Serdang Hospital, Cyberjaya Hospital and Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Hospital, Universiti Putra Malaysia , which are located within a 15km radius of the Putrajaya Hospital.
"In addition, the ratio of beds per 1,000 residents is 8.27, which is above the average of 2.07 beds for the whole country,” he said. Lukanisman said that every suggestion and issue raised regarding the Health Ministry’s facilities will be given due consideration, but the focus at the moment is on optimising the existing facilities.
"The ministry also took the initiative to train caregivers for the elderly, and since 2013 we have had 19,792 trained caregivers for the elderly," he said.
