Health: The Nuts and Bolts #1 – Health Systems 101

Whenever you visit a clinic, see a doctor, or anytime you talk about anything to do with your health, you’re actually coming into contact with the health system. Our health system is what we depend on to ensure that we get the services and care we need to stay healthy. But there’s more to it than just hospitals and doctors. On this short series called ‘Health: The Nuts and Bolts’, we go behind the scenes to explore what makes a health system work and what we need to improve in Malaysia. In this first episode, we’re doing a 101 on health systems.
