KUCHING: Sarawakians will enjoy better health facilities once the three major hospitals here are equipped with over 1,000 hospital beds within the next five years.
Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the hospitals will be equipped with an additional 300 beds each.
The hospitals in question are the soon to be expanded Normah Medical Specialist Centre, and another two private owned hospitals located in Tabuan Jaya and Batu Lintang.
