SELANGAU: Deputy Health Minister Datuk Lukanisman Awang Sauni has stressed the importance of setting up an emergency unit at the Selangau Health Clinic to help ease congestion and cater to the growing population as it is located near the Pan Borneo Highway.
“The Sarawak Health Department is fully aware of the situation, and they see the need to set up the emergency unit here,” he told the local media.
Lukanisman was met on Tuesday during the Tour of Borneo series II at Selangau Health Clinic.
He added an X-ray service is also very much needed at Selangau Health clinic and thus, his ministry would carry out discussions for the acquisition of assets.
On another note, Lukanisman disclosed that the Selangau’s Dialysis Centre is expected to be fully operational in mid-2024.
The centre will be entrusted under Sibu Hospital.
“Physically, the dialysis centre has been completed and is just waiting for the installation of the machines,” he added.
The centre can accommodate a total of 13 dialysis machines and currently, six machines have been procured.
