KUCHING, Sept 6 – The Sarawak Government has approved an allocation of RM10 million to install a digital link application for all government hospitals in the state.
Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the approval was made last week with an additional RM1 million allocated for three neurology staff of the Sarawak General Hospital to undergo specialised equipment training.
Speaking at the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) 64th Annual General Meeting dinner here last night, he said the digital link application would enable instant sharing of medical information among doctors to facilitate treatment of patients.
“This will be another important technological advancement (for Sarawak medical services),” he said.
On the need to send the neurology staff for the specialised training, he said the number of trained staff at Sarawak General Hospital to handle specialised equipment for neurology treatment process was still insufficient.
