PRIMARY health care services at the BSB Health Centre (Ong Sum Ping) and the Mother and Child Health Clinic in Kiarong have moved to the Pengiran Anak Puteri Hajah Muta-Wakkilah Hayatul Bolkiah (PAPHMWHB) Health Centre in Kg Rimba.
Haji Dr Norzaidi bin Haji Saini, acting senior medical officer-in-charge of PAPHMWHB Health Centre, during an interview with local press advised residents residing within the catchment area of the BSB Health Centre and the Mother and Child Health Centre in Kiarong – with the exception of those residing in Kg Subok – to visit the PAPHMWHB Health Centre from now on.
“Residents at Kg Subok can go to the Berakas Health Centre located at Jalan 10 Selatan, RPN Kg Lambak Kanan in Berakas instead for their primary health checkups and needs,” he said.
He added that from now on, the opening hours at the PAPHMWHB Health Centre will be extended from 7am to 6pm, from Monday to Thursday and on Saturday.
He reiterated that the services at the PAPHMWHB Health Centre will be based on an appointment system, where outpatients need to call in for an appointment at 2424991 or make an appointment at the counter.

The appointment system at other centres has been very successful in providing a more efficient service and reducing waiting time. However, emergency situations are still a priority, he said.
The move to PAPHMWHB is in line with the Ministry of Health’s strategic priority to enhance quality of the service. The PAPHMWHB Health Centre has a bigger capacity and better infrastructure he noted adding that the health services offered there are based on the ‘One Stop Health Centre’ concept.
One of the patients, Dayangku Sukadinoor binti Pengiran Haji Md Salleh, agreed that the move to the PAPHMWHB Health Centre is beneficial to the patients coming from other areas.
Rosinah binti Haji Hasmit, who resides in Kg Katok, also supported the idea as it would help those residing around Rimba and that the health centre is closer and bigger.
