PETALING JAYA: Government hospitals will not turn away stateless children seeking treatment, especially in emergencies and life-threatening cases, health minister Dzulkefly Ahmad said.
In a parliamentary reply, he said the ministry wanted to ensure access to healthcare for all, including stateless children whom he said would be treated on humanitarian grounds.
“The principle here is saving lives and providing equal care for those in need,” he said in response to Sany Hamzan (PH-Hulu Langat), who had asked about healthcare access for stateless children.
