DAP SRI AMAN

 

Where is the Promised Hospital?  30.1.2014

It has been nearly 3 years since the announcement by the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib that the Sri Aman Hospital is going to be built, where the supposed date of completion would be somewhere in 2013.

Fast forward to today, the DAP Sri Aman Committee members visited the new Hospital site which to our horror, nothing has changed since PM's announcement!

'The site is apparently abandoned, judging by the condition of the gate into the area that has collapsed and the signage nearly covered by crawling vines. It is indeed an extremely painful wait for the people of Sri Aman yet again; the dream of a new modern Hospital to service & care for them,' said Leon, Vice Chairman of DAP Sarawak.

'How many years more do we have to wait for the hospital to be built? The current hospital is unable to service the needs of the people of Sri Aman which has increased by leaps and bounds over the years since 1959!

The medical staffs' are overworked, it has very old facilities and promises upon promises seem to be heaped upon the people of Sri Aman. We are ignored yet again when the pleas for a new hospital are apparently ignored.

Our elected representatives in Sri Aman seems to be doing nothing about this apparent problem, who couldn't care less probably because their medical needs are met by good hospitals in Kuching where they reside.

'However, we who are residing in Sri Aman, have an enormous need to have a modern hospital,'added Leon Donald.
