The contribution was presented by The Association of Wives of Ministers and Assistant Ministers (Sabati) treasurer Datin Siti Shorgayah Ahmad Zaidin to the health clinic's medical officer Dr Mohd Sulaiman Roslan. 'Sabati has carried out its clinic upgrading programme in partnership with Petronas (Petroliam Nasional Berhad) since 2023, after identifying 26 health clinics across Sarawak (for the programme). 'We were allocated RM1.3 million, which means each clinic receives RM50,000 worth of medical and non-medical equipment. This project will run from 2023 to 2026,' she said during the handing over ceremony at the clinic here yesterday. For the record, the Telaga Air health clinic was selected as one of the recipients on July18, and received 21 clinical and 10 non-clinical items. After a site visit, Siti also identified the need for a more suitable treatment room on the clinic's ground floor particularly to accommodate elderly patients. Presently, the clinic serves around 7,000 residents with an average of at least 100 patients per day. She emphasised that health was a key pillar in building a progressive, advanced and competitive society. 'In this technological era, ensuring every individual has access to quality healthcare is increasingly important. Advancements in the health sector not only improve quality of life, but also contributes to long-term economic growth. 'Therefore, it is essential to upgrade clinic facilities as patient traffic is often high. They deserve to receive treatment in a comfortable environment,' she said. The Telaga Air health clinic was also recently selected as one of the users of the Cloud-Based Clinical Management System, which enables more systematic patient record management. This system is expected to significantly reduce waiting times at clinics compared to previous conventional methods. Also present were Pantai Damai assemblyman Datuk Abdul Rahman Junaidi and Kuching Division health officer Dr Johnny Pangkas. health clinics Kampung Telaga Air lead medical equipment
