(vi) Provision of Healthcare Services for the Orang Asal As earlier mentioned, while more and more Orang Asal are migrating to the periphery of the urban areas, the majority of the Orang Asal still reside in rural and remote areas. 111 This situation has presented a challenge for the Government to effectively deliver various vital services. To overcome this problem, various outreach programmes have been instituted to serve the needs of rural and remote communities. In terms of healthcare, the Government has introduced a number of mobile healthcare services to reach rural and remote communities, including the Orang Asal. In Sarawak for instance, the Flying Doctor Service (FDS) and Village Health Promoter Programme (VHPP) were introduced to serve communities in less accessible areas. The FDS team consists of a medical officer, a medical assistant and two community nurses who visit the locations once a month or once in two months. The FDS operates three helicopters based on Kuching, Sibu and Miri in Sarawak, and cover a total of 141 locations in the remote parts of the State. It attends to around 70,000 outpatients every year. The FDS also provides medical emergency evacuations for critically ill patients to be transferred to the nearest appropriate hospital or clinic.
