Off to school — even at hospitals

KUALA LUMPUR: Sickly students who are long-term hospital patients will be able to catch up on their studies when the School in Hospital programme is introduced in June.

Deputy Prime Minister's wife Puan Sri Noorainee Abdul Rahman, who initiated the programme,said she felt compelled to start it when she saw many young pati-ents being left behind in their studies because they had to be in hospital.
