PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s call at the International Social Wellbeing Conference 2024 to prioritise investments in healthcare and pharmaceuticals for our ageing nation is welcome news, particularly for the local pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, “Malaysia needs to prioritise investments in silver economy to enable healthy ageing – PM” (The Star, June 4).
