: While the 1,261-bed Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital here may be good for medical treatment, it is a nightmare for patients and visitors who are irked by the severe shortage of parking spaces.
Another staff, who wanted to be known as Mohamad, 41, said parking has been a long-standing issue among them and even though the hospital has added new medical blocks, their complaints have not been addressed. “On my off days, I drive here before 4am and sleep in my car as my wife stays with her mother at the hospital.
Another family member of a patient who wanted to be known as Ong, 54, said he is also fed up with the parking problem at the hospital. In 2022, it received a total of 311,291 patients at its specialist outpatient clinics. The number grew exponentially when it recorded 339,803 patients at these clinics in 2023. The hospital received 492,079 outpatients in total the same year.
