PUTRAJAYA (April 3): Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad on Friday outlined five key strategic priorities requiring strong support from the private sector as part of efforts to accelerate the transformation of Malaysia’s healthcare system into a more sustainable, integrated and patient-centred model. “The public healthcare sector will always remain the backbone of the nation. However, by aligning the ecosystem with the private sector, we can ensure a robust, inclusive system capable of delivering the best care for every Malaysian family,” he said in a Facebook post on Friday. Dzulkefly said the session was crucial in reinforcing a “whole-of-nation” approach to healthcare reform. “I have consistently emphasised that the public and private sectors must work hand in hand, complementing each other in building a more sustainable, transparent and patient-centred healthcare system,” he added.
