SIBU: Hospital Sibu has been provided with 185 pieces of medical machinery and health facilities, courtesy of the Rotary Club Bintulu Central (RCBC) and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Sarawak Public Communications Unit reported.
The donation, valued at RM486,000, is part of the 'Delivery Hope, Touching More Lives' project.
Sibu Hospital Director Dr Nanthakumar Thirunavukkarasu, expressed his gratitude and emphasised the critical need for such assets to maintain and enhance the level of healthcare services for the public.
