Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad speaking to reporters during his working visit to the Duchess of Kent Hospital in Sandakan.
SANDAKAN: Despite repeated calls for a new hospital to address overcrowding at the only hospital in Sandakan, the Health Minister says there is no need for one here.
Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said the existing Hospital Duchess of Kent, with a planned new block of about 594 beds, would be sufficient to meet the district’s healthcare needs and ease congestion.
