Look Beyond Populist Moves To Address Medical Inflation

Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin has urged the government to consider banning private hospitals from listing on Bursa Malaysia as part of efforts to curb profit-driven healthcare. Sim also suggested that listed private hospitals be nationalised and fully government-owned to help lower medical costs. We’ll be speaking with Dr. Khor Swee Kheng, CEO of Angsana Health & Specialist in Public Policiesto discuss the feasibility and effectiveness of these proposals.
