Looking ahead to Budget 2024, we urge the government to grant tax breaks to digital mental health startups and offer subsidies to users of teletherapy and similar services.
For Budget 2024, the Galen Centre wants investments in health care financing, NCDs, aged care, reproductive health & epidemic preparedness. It recommends a national scheme to fund long-term care for above-40s and scrapping RM1/ RM5 fees in MOH facilities.
MMA's Budget 2024 wish list includes a bigger development budget, health workforce development, rural health, expanding SPM to cover NCDs, digitalisation, and higher taxes on high-sugar food and beverage.
