Patients with cardiac clinic appointments after Jan 1 should proceed directly to the new centre as the cardiac clinic at SGH will be closed after Dec 31.

A statement issued yesterday said patients due for admission to undergo surgery should also go directly to the new centre.

The Cardiac Emergency Unit at the SGH Heart Centre in Kota Samarahan will only treat cardiac emergencies.

Those with other emergencies should proceed directly to SGH in Kuching to be treated by the appropriate specialists, the statement added. For enquiries call 082-281111.
