KOTA KINABALU — The former director of Hospital Wanita dan Kanak-Kanak Sabah (HWKKS) has initiated court proceedings against two senior figures in the state's health sector over her removal from the post.
The lawsuit names both her successor and a top-ranking health official as defendants. The former director contends that her dismissal was procedurally improper and seeks redress through the courts.
Details regarding the specific grounds for the legal challenge remain under consideration by the court. The case highlights ongoing disputes within Sabah's healthcare administration, particularly concerning the governance and leadership transitions at the women's and children's hospital.
HWKKS, located in Kota Kinabalu, serves as a specialist facility for maternal and pediatric care in the state. The hospital's directorship is considered a significant position within Sabah's health infrastructure.
The matter is expected to proceed through the judicial process, with further developments anticipated in coming months.
