Chairman, Tan Sri Datuk Seri Rashpal Singh highlighted today’s launch came together at the most opportune time when the government is shifting its priority from the management of Covid-19 to restarting the nation’s economy and recovery from the impact. He added, “The high utilisation of public healthcare services has led to overcrowded facilities resulting in longer wait and initiatives such as medical research funding and reducing the burden in public hospitals can be looked into. We are ready to work with the Ministry of Health to complement the government’s hard work in improving the social wellbeing and health quality of fellow Malaysians.”
