PUTRAJAYA, Nov 1 — The Malaysian government has committed RM2.5 million to establish dialysis centers at various mosques in Kelantan, in partnership with Yayasan Waqaf Malaysia (YWM) and Radicare. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim revealed that this move aims to enhance treatment accessibility, particularly for residents in rural areas who face lengthy journeys to receive dialysis.
The government's initiative seeks to broaden the existing role of mosques as community hubs. "We are working with Radicare to ensure that dialysis facilities are more accessible, especially for villagers who must travel considerable distances for treatment," Anwar stated during the Sebarkan Salam@Kota Bharu Berselawat event at the Masjid Muhammadi grounds in Kota Bharu last night.
The Prime Minister was accompanied by Dr Zulkifli Hasan, the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department for Religious Affairs, his deputy Marhamah Rosli, and Kelantan's Menteri Besar, Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud. Apart from the dialysis facilities, another RM645,000 has been allocated by YWM for water waqf projects and solar installations at selected mosques in Kelantan, where a shortage of basic amenities exists.
The government also announced a RM500,000 special allocation for maintenance and upgrades at Sekolah Menengah Ugama Darul Ulum Al-Muhammadiyyah in Padang Kolam, which include hostel facilities.
