THE Malaysia Care Strategic Framework and Action Plan 2026-2030 – launched by Women, Family and Community Development Minister in November last year – recognises that the country’s care ecosystem extends well beyond hospitals and includes childcare, eldercare, disability support and unpaid family care.

As hospitals concentrate on providing acute and specialised medi­cal services, sustained care at home plays a greater role in ensuring stable recovery and quality of life. In this context, caregivers form a crucial link within the broader continuum of care.
