KOTA BHARU, Nov 1 — The government has allocated RM2.5 million to provide dialysis facilities at selected mosques in Kelantan in collaboration with Yayasan Waqaf Malaysia (YWM) and Radicare.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the initiative would improve access to treatment, particularly for rural kidney patients who have to travel long distances to receive dialysis.
He said using mosques as dialysis centres would also expand their role in serving local communities.
“We are working with Radicare to make dialysis facilities more accessible, particularly for villagers who have to travel far for treatment. We are using mosques as the base for these facilities,” he said at the Sebarkan Salam@Kota Bharu Berselawat programme at the grounds of Masjid Muhammadi here last night.
