Studies by the developed nations show that greening the environment can help patients recover faster, Health Minister of Malaysia Datuk Chua Jui Meng said yesterday. He said a recent study in the United States showed that patients at a hospital who were exposed to the green scenery had recovered faster than the other patients. Towards this end, the Government had allocated RM200mil to the Landscape Department to implement the National Landscape Programme under the Seventh Malaysia Plan.
