Take care of all sick children


MALAYSIA used to provide free healthcare to all but over the last few years, the Government has been slowly phasing out the subsidy for non-locals seeking treatment at public hospitals. Sandakan, a small town in Sabah, has a very different demography compared to other towns in this country.

Here, the population of non-locals without legal documentation (NLLD) is high. There’s even an illegal settlement here!
