Duty, dedication and love – that's life for two nurses on remote island


Ling paid a visit to the Pulau Tinggi village clinic on the remote island and spent time mingling with Siti Fatimah, who single-handedly took care of the clinic and served the islanders.

Siti Fatimah Md Rasan and Faridah Abdullah are the sole medical staff at a clinic located in Pulau Tinggi and Pulau Aur, some 30km and 104km from here, respectively.
