According to New Straits Times, as reported by Nor Ain Mohamed Radhi, the Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad unveiled Malaysia\u2019s Health Ministry plan to establish a National Health Fund to fund public healthcare services. This fund will pool various sources of funding, including taxes, non-tax revenues, and earmarked funds from activities such as the tax on sugar-sweetened beverages.<\/p>\n

\n

“This initiative aims to raise awareness among stakeholders about the significance of health financing, encouraging their participation in driving positive changes in healthcare financing,” the Health Minister said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In response to concerns about rising medical costs, the Health Minister urged private healthcare facilities to adopt value-based healthcare, which prioritizes health outcomes over the traditional fee-for-service model.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Health Ministry is working on a direction of healthcare financing reforms aimed at reducing out-of-pocket expenses and improving the efficiency of healthcare financing, which will be announced soon.<\/p>\n
