Speaking to reporters when handing over a hospital bed to the society today, the Deputy Minister of Public Health, Housing and Local Government commended the society for promoting a caring community.

“I was informed they are collecting donations to buy medical equipment like hospital beds. Today I am donating a hospital bed to them. We will work together in other aspects. There are people who can’t afford medical equipment. Thank God we have them to offer help,” he added.

Tiang said the public could also contact the society for ambulance services.

“Sibu is having a shortage of ambulances. We cannot always depend on the hospital so the people can always call on the society for ambulance services as they have a new ambulance,” he said. — DayakDaily
