MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING MACHINE FOR SIBU HOSPITAL

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING MACHINE FOR SIBU HOSPITAL

The Foundation has successfully raised RM2.02 million for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine for Sibu Hospital with the final sponsorship of RM300, 000 from Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (PETROS) on 1 December 2023.

At the handing over of the mock cheque for RM250,000, PETROS chairman Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr Hamid Bugo immediately topped it up with another RM50,000 upon hearing from Foundation deputy chairman YB Dato Sri Prof Dr Sim Kui Hian that the collection was still short of RM30,000.

The Ministry of Health Malaysia has also approved an allocation of RM1,208,018.00 for the upgrading of the room for the MRI machine in October 2023. Works will start in 2024 and is expected to be completed within six months.

Sarawak Heart Centre recommended the Philips Diamond Select 1.5T Achieva dStream machine for Sibu Hospital as its present one is near end of life. Patients in the Central Region of the State have had to be referred to Sarawak Heart Centre as the machine in Sibu Hospital cannot treat or does not have the capacity to handle those cases.

The new machine will be able to address the immediate needs of Sibu Hospital in providing MRI treatment to patients in the whole of the Central Region of the Sarawak that includes Mukah, Sarikei and Kapit Divisions.
