SGH Heart Centre needs more specialists, surgeons
KOTA SAMARAHAN: The Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) Heart Centre needs more specialists and surgeons to match the growing number of patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases in the state.
SGH Clinical Research Centre head Dr Alan Fong Yean Yip revealed that the centre only had three surgeons and eight cardiologists, which justified his worries that they would not be able to cope with the growing number of patients in the near future.
A group of collaborators led by the University of Southampton have been awarded a British Council Newton Fund Institutional Links Grant to support ground-breaking research towards reducing the burden of infectious disease in Malaysia.
