Pause

Health Minister Dato’ Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad has said that within the next four to five years, the Ministry of Health plans to introduce a “One Person, One Record” system that is accessible across both government and private health facilities. What should this system look like and what lessons can we learn from previous attempts of digitalising parts of our public healthcare system? Joining us to discuss these questions and what kind of investment is needed for digitalisation ahead of Budget 2025, are Dr Rachel Gong, deputy director of research and Ilyana Syafiqa Mukhris Mudaris, research associate, both from Khazanah Research Institute.
