PETALING JAYA:
The health ministry will work on aligning medical experts with infrastructure development and ensuring that it meets local needs.

Health minister Dzulkefly Ahmad said this in a Facebook post following a meeting he chaired yesterday, Bernama reported.

“I acknowledge that many areas face congestion, inadequate facilities, or both, but this is being addressed – not just in Sabah and Sarawak, but also in Johor and Kelantan,” he was quoted as saying.

Dzulkefly said he also wanted to focus on managing the uneven distribution of human resources by “ensuring that the planning and distribution of resources is in line with infrastructure development and needs at the grassroots”.

Although he acknowledged that these would be challenging tasks, he expressed confidence that they could be achieved with collective support.
