Galen Centre chief says the allocation should be doubled as the game-changing scheme has too ambitious expansion plans.

Galen Centre CEO Azrul Khalib said the Madani medical scheme could significantly relieve the pressure on congested emergency departments at public hospitals.

He said the scheme could potentially be a game changer in reducing congestion at health clinics and hospitals, but had an “ambitious coverage target”. Malaysian Medical Association president Dr Azizan Abdul Aziz hoped that non-communicable disease management could be included in the Madani medical scheme as it would encourage the participation of more private doctors.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said in his budget speech that the revenue would be used to fund the establishment of dialysis centres and treatment. Former deputy health minister Dr Lee Boon Chye said more has to be done to help the digitalisation of health records and services in rural areas.
