HKL seeks public help to trace family of unidentified patient

Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) is reaching out to the public for help in identifying a patient who has been receiving treatment since August 17. The unidentified patient, known as Thambirajan, was admitted to the Emergency and Trauma Department after experiencing a stroke. However, he was unable to provide any identification documents or further information about himself.

An investigation by the hospital's Medical Social Work Department revealed that Thambirajan was also unable to provide his full name and identification card number. The hospital then referred the patient to the National Registration Department (NRD) in an attempt to obtain more information about his identity. However, their records also did not match any details related to Thambirajan.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, HKL has urged Thambirajan's family members or acquaintances to come forward and contact the hospital immediately. The hospital is committed to ensuring that the patient's treatment and subsequent care can proceed smoothly. For any inquiries or further information regarding the patient, individuals can reach out to the HKL Medical Social Work Department at 03-2615 5959.
