Salam 🇲🇾 MADANI ❤️ A heads-up on my piece in The Edge this week: "A Truly Whole-of-Nation Collaboration to Transform Private Healthcare." Malaysia’s private healthcare landscape is at a turning point. Following a productive session with our private hospital CEOs, we are moving toward a structural transformation rooted in trust and genuine partnership: 📍 The MHIT Base Plan: We are introducing a standardised, voluntary, and affordable Medical and Health Insurance and Takaful (MHIT) option. It’s designed to widen choice and provide transparent pricing for those seeking private care, WITHOUT replacing our public health system, the bedrock to deliver Universal Health Coverage (UHC). 📍 Price Transparency through DRGs: We are implementing Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs) in the private sector. This is a break away from "fee-for-service" towards "value-based healthcare," ensuring patients and insurers have better cost predictability. 📍 Digital Health Interoperability: Data is critical. By sharing records via the Malaysia Digital Health Certification Network, we are reducing duplication of tests and saving costs for patients across both public and private sectors. 📍 Timeline: Our pilot begins in the Greater Klang Valley this July 2026, ahead of the national launch in January 2027. As I wrote in the piece... "That shift did not happen overnight - trust and a collaborative spirit were hard-earned. We are building a system that is technology-native, person-centred, and grounded in integrated care." ❤️ A resilient health system is a shared responsibility ❤️ Happy reading & care to share with friends please..🙏🌺 #MalaysiaMADANI #YakinMADANI #KKMPrihatin #MHIT
