Sarawak hospitals did not turn away cancer patient whose IC was seized, says Health director

KUCHING: Two government hospitals in northern Sarawak never denied treatment to a cancer patient whose MyKad was reportedly confiscated by the National Registration Department (NRD), says state Health director Dr Ooi Choo Huck.

He said the 65-year-old patient's daughter, when contacted, confirmed that Hospital Lawas and Hospital Miri had never refused to treat her mother.
