OSLO: The idea of having a hospital equipped with an integrated 5G network and its emerging technologies is something Malaysia could leverage to enhance patient treatment and teaching capabilities, says Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil.

On Friday, the Minister visited Norwegian Radium Hospital here, where Norway’s telecommunications giant, the Telenor Group, showcased a dedicated 5G indoor solution and how, together with the hospital, they are innovating patient treatment and developing healthcare solutions for increased efficiency.
