KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 — The government’s increased allocation for healthcare under Budget 2027 is seen as a catalyst for Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) to upgrade its infrastructure and accelerate its transition to a fully digital hospital.
HKL director Datuk Dr Harikrishna K R Nair said the allocation would help the 156-year-old hospital modernise its electrical systems and other facilities, as well as strengthen its information technology infrastructure.
“We are quite happy because Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has increased the healthcare allocation by RM1.2 billion compared with last year. This will help us improve facilities for patients. HKL is already 156 years old, so our electrical systems and other infrastructure are different.
