RESIDENTS of Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, Cheras, will soon be able to obtain healthcare services without having to travel far as a new health clinic will be built in the area.
A 1.17ha site had been identified in Jalan Suadamai, opposite the Bandar Tun Hussein Onn Rukun Tetangga office.
Clearing works had already begun.
Serdang parliamentary liaison officer Datuk Yap Pian Hon said the clinic was expected to benefit some 200,000 residents in 30 housing areas in and around Bandar Tun Hussein Onn.
“There is an urgent need for a clinic here as residents have to travel to the Kajang Hospital or the health clinic in Batu 9, Cheras for treatment,” he added.
Yap said the planning phase of the project would start soon.
“Once the design has been approved, a budget will be allocated and the tender process for its contruction will take place,” he said.
Yap hopes the clinic’s construction will begin later this year.
He added that the location was identified following a study on public healthcare facilities in the vicinity.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai is scheduled to visit the site on Saturday to launch the project.
