Health D-G: Public healthcare system needs funding boost

Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah

PETALING JAYA: More funding needs to be injected into the public healthcare system as overcrowding at existing facilities has taken a toll on its resources, says Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

"We are currently underfunded, understaffed, underpaid, overworked, overstretched and with facilities overcrowded with patients," he said on his Facebook page.
