JOHOR BARU: The opening of Hospital Pasir Gudang (HPG), which was initially slated for this month, has been pushed back until next year due to technical issues, including the lack of healthcare workers.

Johor health and environment committee chairman Ling Tian Soon said the state government and Health Ministry had agreed to delay the hospital’s operations to avoid complications from running it without adequate staffing.
