Health White Paper should be Malaysia's collective statement on health reforms, says KJ


KUALA LUMPUR: The Health White Paper which is expected to be tabled in Parliament in November should be the country's collective statement of intent on how it can make the health system more sustainable and resilient through a "whole of government” and "whole of society” mindset, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Health Minister said the Covid-19 pandemic had brought into sharp focus the need for healthcare reforms, where never before had the interdependence of health, finance and the social fabric been so visible and the demand for healthcare reforms been more apparent for the health and social needs of the people.
