KOTA SAMARAHAN: The Health Ministry has proposed that the new Petra Jaya Hospital, now under construction here, be turned into a women and children’s hospital when completed.

Its minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said having a specialised institution for maternal and child healthcare would serve Kuching well in terms of health services.
