SIBU, July 8: People in need who cannot afford to buy a hospital bed may now borrow one from Sibu Life Care Society.
“Those who cannot afford hospital beds can borrow them from Sibu Life Care Society by placing a refundable deposit of RM500,” said Datuk Michael Tiang.
Speaking to reporters when handing over a hospital bed to the society today, the Deputy Minister of Public Health, Housing and Local Government commended the society for promoting a caring community.
“I was informed they are collecting donations to buy medical equipment like hospital beds. Today I am donating a hospital bed to them. We will work together in other aspects. There are people who can’t afford medical equipment. Thank God we have them to offer help,” he added.
Tiang said the public could also contact the society for ambulance services.
“Sibu is having a shortage of ambulances. We cannot always depend on the hospital so the people can always call on the society for ambulance services as they have a new ambulance,” he said. — DayakDaily
