KOTA BHARU, Nov 1 — In a move to enhance healthcare access, the government has allocated RM2.5 million to establish dialysis facilities at several mosques across Kelantan, in partnership with Yayasan Waqaf Malaysia (YWM) and Radicare. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim revealed this initiative aims to facilitate treatment for rural kidney patients who must travel considerable distances for dialysis.
Anwar highlighted how repurposing mosques as dialysis centers would amplify their utility to the community. The announcement was made at the Sebarkan Salam@Kota Bharu Berselawat program at Masjid Muhammadi, alongside Minister Zulkifli Hasan, Deputy Marhamah Rosli, and Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud. Additionally, YWM has been granted RM645,000 to address water scarcity and solar installations at selected mosques grappling with basic facility shortages.
A further RM500,000 has been earmarked for maintenance and upgrading works at Sekolah Menengah Ugama Darul Ulum Al-Muhammadiyyah in Padang Kolam, encompassing hostel facilities.
