KUCHING: Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) will soon undergo much-needed upgrades to its facilities and equipment, thanks to an allocation of RM100,000 from Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii Lee Wuen.
The hospital, which consistently manages a high patient volume, has seen many of its facilities and equipment become outdated or no longer functioning optimally, affecting service delivery and efficiency.
The allocation is aimed at addressing these pressing needs and improving both patient care and staff working conditions.
“A major portion of this funding will be used to procure 20 new computers, which will be distributed across key departments, including the one-stop counter, plastic surgery clinic, emergency department, surgical wards, bed management unit, infection control unit, gynae ward, and female medical ward.
“This upgrade will significantly enhance digital infrastructure, streamline work processes, and improve service quality for patients and staff alike,” said Dr Yii.
In addition to the computers, the allocation will also cover the purchase of 10 chairs for the one-stop counter, two air-conditioning units for the ticketing counter and ID clinic, 50 portable drainage stands (PODS) and four infusion pumps.
Dr Yii stressed that these upgrades are crucial in improving the hospital’s functionality, providing a more comfortable environment for patients and staff, and strengthening SGH’s capacity to deliver timely, quality care.
