JOHOR BARU: Special consideration should be given to hospitals that operate on a not-for-profit basis and are not enjoying financial benefits from public funds, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

He said besides Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) Hospital, there are more than 10 such not-for-profit hospitals nationwide, including Assunta Hospital in Petaling Jaya, Tung Shin Hospital in Kuala Lumpur, as well as Lam Wah Ee Hospital and Mount Miriam Cancer Hospital in Penang.
