Dr Azman Abu Bakar and Dr Adeeba Kamarulzaman say that health care professionals under MOH, MOHE, and Mindef should be managed by a health service commission separate from JPA.
Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob says the Health White Paper will not only look at health care service delivery, but also address other determinants of health.
Khairy Jamaluddin says integrating public and private health care delivery may see the Health Ministry devolving service delivery to focus on public health surveillance, policy development, research, regulation, monitoring, and evaluation.
Khairy Jamaluddin says he wants to raise MOH’s annual budget to 5% of GDP over the next few years, with the increase ring-fenced in each subsequent budget.
