KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 13): AWC Bhd has bagged a RM62.23 million job to provide five years of clinic support services to the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Perak.

The contract, commencing on Oct 1, covers 19 district clinics, said the group, which is principally involved in the provision of facilities management systems, waste management solutions and industrial engineering services.

The new contract broadens the group’s healthcare support services’ footprint geographically into the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia, said AWC in a statement.

It added that AWC’s presence in the healthcare support services sector has grown significantly, with ongoing jobs at Hospital Shah Alam, National Cancer Institute, Hospital Orang Asli and National Institute of Health.
