Bau Hospital receives two haemodialysis machines from SEB & SABATI

BAU: Sarawak Energy Berhad (SEB) has generously donated two units of haemodialysis machine to Bau Hospital here recently.

SEB’s senior vice president of Corporate Communication Siti Aishah Adenan said the haemodialysis machine were donated to solve the urgent need for Bau Hospital to have the machines as the hospital is experiencing an increase demand for haemodalysis treatment. It was also to replace the outdated and faulty medical equipment in the hospital.

“Through this contribution, we hope it will enhance Bau Hospital’s healthcare services and provide better support to the communities, especially with the increasing number of patients requiring haemodialysis treatment,” she said.

Siti Aishah expressed this during the handover of the haemodialysis machines, in collaboration with Sarawak Badan Amal Tenaga Isteri-Isteri (SABATI) at Bau Hospital today (Aug 7).

Siti Aishah also stated that SEB remains committed in exploring further opportunities to support the medical field in the state.

Additionally, SEB will also donate two haemodialysis machines to Simunjan Hospital soon, in order to meet with the increasing demand for haemodialysis treatment there as well.
