KUCHING, July 7 2026: Works Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi today attended a tender briefing to have a clearer picture on the scope requirements, site conditions and overall implementation pf he Sarawak Cancer Centre.
He also visited the site in Samarahan to review the initial progress of the project.
The project is a collaborative initiative between the federal and Sarawak government, involving the construction of a 310-bed health facility with outpatient, inpatient, diagnostic and treatment services, medical support and non-medical support.
“More importantly, this facility will provide comprehensive health services for cancer and oncology patients in Sarawak, including stem cell transplantation, cellular therapy, diagnosis, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in a more integrated manner at one location,” Nanta said in his Facebook post.
He added the project has certainly been long awaited by the people of Sarawak, saying that its implementation is not just about building a new health facility, but reflects the commitment of the federal government to strengthen the health service delivery system, improve the well-being of the people and ensure that access to quality treatment can be enjoyed more comprehensively.
He said the Malaysian Public Works Department has been given a great trust and responsibility to realize this project.
“I am confident that with the expertise, experience and commitment of the department, this project can be implemented well according to the scope, quality, cost and period that has been set.
“I also express my appreciation to all parties involved in the planning phase until this project successfully entered the procurement stage, including the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Finance, Sarawak government and related agencies.
“The close cooperation between the federal and Sarawak governments is proof that when we move together, great benefits can be translated to the people,” he said.
Nanta told all prospective tenderers and companies that the tender process can be carried out transparently, fairly and with integrity.
“The government is always committed to ensuring that each participation is assessed professionally based on the conditions, qualifications and criteria that have been set.
“I hope that the Sarawak Cancer Centre will in the future become another landmark in health services that brings great benefits to the people of Sarawak — not only for today, but also for future generations,” he said.
He added the existence of the Sarawak Cancer Centre will bring great meaning - especially to patients and families who need access to closer, integrated and quality cancer treatment.
