Jul 08, 2017

The government aims to set up pain-free hospitals nationwide by 2020, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam.

He said these hospitals are equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure facilities with adequate specialists to enable patients to recover faster and reduce the illness of patients.

So far there are 12 government hospitals that have been declared as pain-free hospitals, including Selayang Hospital in Selangor, Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital in Ipoh and Putrajaya Hospital.

The concept of pain-free hospitals encourages day-to-day surgery services in which patients need not have to spend the night in hospitals and, as such, speed up the healing process.
