PUTRAJAYA: Electronic medical records (EMRs), digitalising healthcare, health financing reforms and upgrading dilapidated facilities are among Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad’s priorities as he returns to helm the Health Ministry.

In his first address at the ministry’s monthly assembly yesterday, he noted the shortage of positions for healthcare workers, which he described as a “chronic” and “perennial” issue.
