Institut Jantung Negara, 19 October 2024 – The National Heart Institute (IJN) expresses its deep appreciation for the government’s decision, as announced during the tabling of Budget 2025, to continue allowing patients who are currently receiving treatment at IJN, particularly those aged 65 and above, to remain under our care with government support.
