The Sarawak Infectious Disease Centre is 90% complete and set to launch by the third quarter of 2027, supporting disease surveillance and research.

The centre's programme has conducted 13 exercises in southern Sarawak and will expand to eight sites in central Sarawak in 2027, enhancing public health interventions.

Sarawak plans to host the World Robot Olympiad Open Championship in 2027, highlighting its growth in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education.

KUCHING, Oct 19 —The Sarawak Infectious Disease Centre (SIDC) is 90 per cent complete as of August 2026 and is expected to be officially launched in the third quarter of 2027.

Sarawak Minister for Education, Innovation and Talent Development Datuk Seri Roland Sagah Wee Inn said the RM320 million facility would support disease surveillance and research into infectious diseases.

He said SIDC’s Disease Surveillance Programme (DSP) had conducted 13 exercises across southern Sarawak, involving more than 1,000 participants.

The exercise in Gedong Pangkor also marked the launch of SIDC’s first mobile laboratory.

“In 2027, the programme will expand to eight sites in central Sarawak, including Kapit, Sebauh and Mukah, to strengthen disease surveillance and public health interventions,” he said when winding up the debate on his ministry at the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly here today.

Sagah said SIDC had also initiated a pharmacogenomic pilot study using PacBio human genome sequencing to identify genetic variants associated with adverse reactions to tuberculosis treatment.

The study aims to support more personalised antibiotic treatment based on individuals’ genetic profiles.

Meanwhile, Sagah said Sarawak would host the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) Open Championship in 2027.

He described the event as a significant milestone for Sarawak and a testament to the continued growth of its science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and robotics ecosystem.

“Hosting the WRO Open Championship in 2027 will provide a valuable opportunity to showcase Sarawak’s homegrown talent on the international stage while welcoming students, educators, coaches and robotics enthusiasts from around the world,” he added. — Bernama

砂拉越传染病中心已完成 90%，预计将于 2027 年第三季度投入使用，以支持疾病监测和研究。

该中心的计划已在砂拉越南部开展了 13 次演习，并将于 2027 年扩展到砂拉越中部的 8 个地点，以加强公共卫生干预措施。

砂拉越计划于 2027 年举办世界机器人奥林匹克公开赛，以彰显其在科学、技术、工程和数学教育方面的进步。

古晋，10 月 19 日讯——截至 2026 年 8 月，砂拉越传染病中心 (SIDC) 已完成 90%，预计将于 2027 年第三季度正式启用。

砂拉越教育、创新及人才发展部长拿督斯里罗兰·萨加·维·因表示，这座耗资3.2亿令吉的设施将支持疾病监测和传染病研究。

他表示，SIDC的疾病监测计划（DSP）已在砂拉越南部开展了13次演习，超过1000人参与其中。

在邦咯岛格东的演习也标志着SIDC首个移动实验室的启动。

“到 2027 年，该计划将扩展到砂拉越中部八个地点，包括加帛、西包和沐胶，以加强疾病监测和公共卫生干预，”他今天在砂拉越州立法议会结束对其部门的辩论时说道。

Sagah表示，SIDC还启动了一项药物基因组学试点研究，利用PacBio人类基因组测序来识别与结核病治疗不良反应相关的基因变异。
