National healthcare insurance plan revisited

Kenanga Research says a revamped healthcare insurance system could lead to better overall healthcare services for Malaysians.

PETALING JAYA: The introduction of a national healthcare insurance scheme is likely to be back on the table, assuming a market-friendly outcome of the upcoming state elections, says Kenanga Research.

The research house expects private healthcare providers IHH Healthcare Bhd and KPJ Healthcare Bhd to be clear winners of the potential introduction of such a scheme.
