KUALA LUMPUR: Access to healthcare services remains a challenge for certain segments of the population because of limited healthcare resources, according to the Health White Paper.
It said the Health Ministry will give priority to the planning and monitoring of resources to ensure at-risk groups receive adequate healthcare services.
The Health White Paper said this will help reduce and better monitor disparities between regions and groups. “The projections for services, facilities, human resources, technology, and allocations, will be included in this scope, along with options to expand health benefit packages and contribution schemes to cover long-term care.”
“Cooperation will be established with state representatives to enhance processes involving resource allocation, planning, services, technology, and human resources, based on current needs,” the paper also said.
