PASIR GUDANG, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- Pasir Gudang Hospital (HPG) is now receiving health personnel from various locations nationwide, deployed by the Health Ministry (MOH) as part of early preparations for its opening.
Johor Health and Environment Committee chairman Ling Tian Soon said the personnel had been assigned according to the needs of their respective departments, with task distribution also carried out to ensure smooth operations when the hospital begins service.
“Although Pasir Gudang Hospital has announced a postponement of its opening date, preparation work has never stopped.
“Various medical and non-medical equipment have begun arriving at the hospital, and the hospital staff are busy arranging and registering them,” he said in a Facebook post tonight.
On Aug 4, he was reported as saying that the opening of HPG here, initially scheduled to begin operations in stages on Aug 1, had been postponed to next year due to several technical issues, including a shortage of health personnel, particularly doctors and nurses.
He said the decision was also agreed upon by the MOH and the state government to avoid any problems arising from the shortage of staff.
