KLANG: Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has urged the Health Ministry and the Selangor Health Department to seriously address the issue of overworked healthcare staff in the state.

“Recently, there have been complaints of healthcare staff, such as nurses and paramedics, being forced to work double shifts.“This has led to an imbalance in their quality of life,’’ said Sultan Sharafuddin in the Ruler’s royal address at an event launching the Kajang Hospital’s Women and Children Treatment Centre as well as renaming the hospital as Hospital Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin yesterday.
