TO BETTER ensure fire-safety management in hospitals, the State Fire and Safety Department will focus on eight general hospitals in Perak that are more than 50 years old.

This comes after the recent fire at Hospital Bahagia in Ulu Kinta, Ipoh, and the fiery tragedy that claimed six lives at the Sultan Aminah Hospital in Johor, last October.
