DARO: A working visit by Deputy Health Minister Dato Hanifah Hajar Taib to Daro Hospital elevated efforts to enhance the quality of healthcare service delivery, particularly through receiving direct feedback from the locals.

According to her, the on-the-ground approach provides her ministry with the opportunity to evaluate the people’s current needs more closely while also identifying aspects that require immediate enhancement.

She explained that among the main focuses is the strengthening of the healthcare delivery system through the development of a new health clinic which is currently being carried out to provide more comprehensive treatment services.

“This effort is important to ensure every healthcare facility and service provided is fully aligned with the needs of the people and capable of enhancing their wellbeing,” she said.

She said this when met by reporters during the Borneo Sarawak Health Tour (Series 2) at Daro Hospital on Tuesday.
