TEMERLOH: The Health Ministry estimates more than RM500 million losses due to the recent flood in the east coast.
Its minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said rebuilding cost was estimated at about RM900 million.
"This is an estimated figure so it could be more,"
"So far we have got figures for RM300 million," he told reporters after addressing ministry staff at the Sultan Haji Ahmad hospital here.
He added that the ministry was looking at rebuilding and relocating some of the clinics as well as hospitals at the badly affected areas because they can no longer function.
He expressed appreciation to MOH staffs who were involved directly and indirectly during the floods, also those who worked tirelessly during this worst flood in our history.
