For an analysis of the healthcare allocations in next year’s budget, we have Dr Muralli Munisamy, Managing Director of the National Cancer Society of Malaysia, and Dr Amjad Rabi, a social and human security economist. We'll also be taking a look at the longer-term reforms needed for health financing, beyond the annual national budgeting cycle.
