Malaysians pride ourselves on the affordability of our public healthcare services, but is it affordable for all communities that need it? This World Refugee Day, we’re shining the spotlight on the healthcare challenges that refugee communities in Malaysia face and the work that Refugee Emergency Fund does to help bridge the gap whenever they can. We find out from Liza Nordeen, fund coordinator from Refugee Emergency Fund.
