LETTER | It will cater to patients from the northern region.

| The Consumers Association of Penang appeals to the Health Ministry to upgrade the Penang General Hospital to make it the leading centre for cardiothoracic surgery for the northern region.

Unfortunately, it has not undergone any upgrading since it began operation. Although the number of patients has increased significantly over the years, the ward space has not increased and there is constant congestion with lack of beds and storage space. The infrastructure and medical assets in terms of beds, monitors, and electrocardiogram machines are also old and sub-standard. The emergency and trauma department is also suffering from severe space shortage and intense congestion.
