Sustainable hospital for urban residents

Malaysia is one of the sustainable countries in the world as it ranked at 51st over 178 countries in Environmental Performance Index (EPI). However, Malaysia as an upper-middle-income country set strong forces in Gross Domestic Production from 2009 until 2014 at 16.18 per cent (%) inclination. The u...

The findings identified the motor vehicles as the main sources of Particulates Matter in Kuala Lumpur urban area. As the sources increases, the PM concentration also increases.

Contradict to previous researchers’ theory, Malaysian results shows that as the number of unhealthy days increase in the year 2012, yet the morbidity case reported decreases. This is for the general government had spent at an increment of 7.46% in the year 2011 during the fall of unhealthy days at 11.76 % in 2011. This shows that the general government spend effectively to mitigate the repeat cases of respiratory patients facing by high risk communities. In conclusion, the sustainable development can be achieved as the economy is being blend well with the environment.
