Parti Amanah Negara has urged the Health Ministry to conduct serious research on all old hospitals and health clinics to make sure the specifications laid down by Fire and Rescue Department are followed.
The call came after the department confirmed that six victims were found dead following a fire that broke out at the intensive care unit at Sultanah Aminah Hospital in Johor Baru this morning.
Amanah deputy president Salahuddin Ayub who visited the hospital said this should include exits from the emergency ward which are seen limited and narrow, filled with medical equipment, resulting in difficulty of handling many patients during an emergency.
