24-Nov-14, New Straits Times Online
Deputy Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Hilmi Yahaya said the infrastructure and culture of health care needs to be re-engineered to deliver better services to the people.
Dr Hilmi said Malaysia's health system was constantly facing serious challenges and health care was becoming increasingly complex due to changing disease patterns and reform initiatives.
“New and challenging questions arised need to be answered by policy makers with greater depth and detail. They have to be well managed for us to achieve our national goals."
“We are much in the era of evidence-based healthcare and implementing research findings is an important way of bringing changes to the current health care system."
