Its deputy minister Datuk Lukanisman Awang Sauni said RM50 million of the allocation is provided by the Sarawak government.

“The implementation period of the projects under the RM100 million allocation is 18 months and the Sarawak Health Department has identified the locations of the health clinics involved,“ he said.

He told the media this after flagging off the “Jelajah Agenda Nasional Malaysia Sihat (ANMS) Bulan Malaysia Sihat Sejahtera @ HePiLI (BMSS)” expedition and the One Hour Malaysia Clean Up (1HMCU) 2024 at SMK Agama Sibu here today.
