He said the opinions and ideas of various stakeholders had been consistently sought and that the cooperation of the private sector and non-governmental organisations in working with the government was critical to ensuring the success of the health system reform.
The purpose of the HWP, he noted, is to propose the significant changes needed to ensure that Malaysia’s health system can anticipate and fulfil the nation’s evolving health needs. "We implemented effective strategies to contain the impact of the pandemic by ensuring continued access to health services, medicines and vaccines, building up the healthcare workforce, and strengthening the capacities to prevent and respond to health emergencies successfully.
"Mass surgical initiatives were organised at multiple sites all over the country. Surgeons and support healthcare workers from various health-related sectors, including the armed forces, private hospitals and universities, were all deployed mainly on a pro-bono basis,” he said, adding that when the Health Ministry's facilities were at full capacity, the government authorised the outsourcing of procedures to private healthcare.
"This collaboration has direct benefits for clinical research in this region. Hopefully such tests for cancer biomarkers will soon be available locally with shorter waiting times for diagnosis and management,” he said. On health system equity, Dr Noor Hisham urged stakeholders to build on existing public-private partnerships, such as through the PeKa B40 scheme, Komuniti Sihat Pembina Negara and Kospen Plus , Health Ministry’s quit-smoking programme, mQuit and outsourcing of services the private sector can provide for the urban and the semi-rural populations.
