Driven by a 10 % real increase in funding, the Malaysian public healthcare sector will grow in 2024. Here are some key dynamics that will be behind this growth in 2024: ➡ The authorities plan for a massive boost in development expenditures, with 22% real increase in funding. The majority of this budget will go to upgrades of clinics and hospitals.   ➡ As the public sector is expected to have some issues in meeting strong patient demand, public-private partnerships will become more important in care delivery.     ➡ The MOH plans to launch various reforms highlighted in the Health White Paper. The first step will be the establishment of a Health Transformation Office.
