I would like to voice out people’s concerns about the lack of ambulances at Batu Kurau health clinic.
In emergencies, people have to wait for additional ambulances from nearby areas like Redang Panjang health clinic, which can take over 30 minutes to arrive.
I call on Health Ministry to add at least one new ambulance to the health clinic.
The issue of ambulance shortage is not only happening in Batu Kurau, but also other rural areas.
The impact of ambulance delays is not small; it can result in death or permanent disability.
This situation also puts pressure on nearby hospitals and can undermine trust in the public healthcare system.
I urge the Batu Kurau assemblyman, Larut MP and the Perak Mentri Besar’s special officer to raise this issue via the appropriate channels.
