Sarawak deputy premier Dr Sim Kui Hian says the needs in Sarawak are different to that of Peninsular Malaysia.

Dr Sim Kui Hian said Sarawak is seeking to manage the state’s healthcare services and facilities on its own but using funds from Putrajaya.

Sim said the Sarawak government wants comprehensive healthcare autonomy, allowing it to decide on regulatory matters, the management of human resources and the maintenance of healthcare facilities, The Borneo Post reported. Sim added that Sarawak is seeking to manage the state’s healthcare services and facilities on its own but using funds from Putrajaya.

“If full healthcare autonomy is granted, we also want to integrate some of the public health services into it so there will not be a duplication of resources. Public health policies are enforced by both the health ministry and local councils,” he said, adding that these policies include smoking restrictions.
