Lawas Hospital handed over, expected to become specialist centre

The new 76-bed Lawas Hospital has been handed over and is expected to evolve into a specialist hospital, reducing the need for patients to travel far for specialist care. Deputy Health Minister Datuk Hanifah Hajar Taib said manpower constraints have left staffing incomplete for now. The RM183 million project was built by the Public Works Department's Special Project Team 2 from June 30, 2020.
