Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah congratulated the head of the hospital’s Infectious Disease Department Dr Suresh Kumar and Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Department head Dr Shaiful Azman Zakaria as well as the whole of the Covid-19 team for the recognition.

“Heartiest congratulations to Dr Suresh Kumar and Dr Shaiful Azman and the whole team at Sungai Buloh Hospital for the recognition at the Global Health Awards 2020. Very well-deserved indeed!.

“The nation thanks you and your team for the unwavering dedication, sacrifice and excellence in our efforts to fight Covid-19,” he said in his social media accounts yesterday.

According to the awards website, the regional Asia-Pacific awards aim to recognise institutions in a variety of regional and global markets that have maintained consistently high standards in delivering quality care and pushed the boundaries of delighting their customers at every stage and in every interaction.

Sungai Buloh Hospital was designated as Malaysia’s main Covid-19 hospital in March.
