AN award-winning reclining hammock wheelchair is expected to be a popular item among hospitals when it is released into the market.

The project to design the wheelchair, undertaken by University Technology Sarawak (UTS) and Twin Catalyst Sdn Bhd, even made Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg happy with the wheelchair invention.
