KUALA LUMPUR: There are plans to expand cancer treatment centres nationwide to ensure that patients have equitable access to high-quality treatment and palliative care, says the Health Minister.

“It is due to the lack of treatment centres, particularly in the east coast and, in Sabah and Sarawak.

“We’re looking at it in the long term, going by zones, and will probably see if treatment centres are needed in the north, east, Sabah and Sarawak,” she added. She said the programme also identified specific objectives with corresponding targets and action plans that are essential for instituting a comprehensive cancer prevention and control programme for the country until 2025.
