Published on: Sunday, October 22, 2017
Kunak: The cluster hospital concept has been suggested to be expanded to the rural district hospitals, especially in Keningau, said State Health Director Datuk Dr Christina Rundi. She said the concept which optimised the use of space, facilities including sharing of expert services was suitable to be applied in Keningau Hospital since it would serve the people in the border districts, including Tambunan, Tenom and Nabawan. "The concept has been used in Tawau Hospital which provides specialist doctor services to hospitals in Kunak, Semporna and Lahad Datu, thereby it can overcome the shortage of specialist doctors problem.
