The Perak state government has denied a news portal's claim that Taiping Hospital has no graduate medical officers. State health committee chairman Datuk A Sivanesan said 93 graduate medical officers are currently posted at Malaysia's oldest hospital, though he acknowledged other shortcomings are being addressed. He spoke after a visit with Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh at the hospital, and also addressed parking issues to be tackled through mechanical parking structures.
