MOH Digital Reform: 156 Health Clinics Equipped With CCMS
In a post on Facebook today, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, said the achievement was part of the artificial intelligence (AI)-based digital reforms that his ministry is currently implementing.
He said that under the reform, phase 1 of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system had also been completed involving five million prescriptions, 20 million vaccination records, and one million dental records.
He said MySejahtera has now developed into a preventive health gateway and a national digital gateway.
'We are also very pleased to announce that the Ministry of Health and Google are now exploring a strategic collaboration to use artificial intelligence to address the country's key health challenges.
'It is a major step towards making Malaysia the leader in AI-based digital health in the region,' he said.
He said as the 2025 ASEAN Chair, Malaysia is committed to driving regional cooperation in health data governance, ethical use of AI and cross-border digital capacity building.
Today, Dzulkefly officiated the Precision Public Health Asia 2025 Conference which brought together over 500 delegates from across the region, eight technology exhibitors, and regional health leaders who share the aspiration of building a data-driven, personalised and people-centric health system.
'Precision Public Health is no longer a concept of the future. It is being implemented in Malaysia. And it will be a pillar for a more sustainable, equitable and competitive health system,' he said.

Published on: Thursday, July 24, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jul 24, 2025 By: Bernama Text Size: Fahmi (second right) and others observe the injury on Vicky's arm. - fotoBERNAMA PENAMPANG: Tabung Kasih@Hawana's has brought much-needed cheer and meaningful support to two media practitioners in Sabah who are battling health challenges. One of the recipients, Sabah State Information Department photographer Vicky Sylvester Matanjang, 52, said he was moved by the kind gesture of Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil, who personally visited his home in Kampung Hungab here today to deliver the contribution. 'I feel appreciated, even though I'm just a photographer. Today is my first day back at work, but I'm only doing light duties as I haven't fully recovered,' said Vicky, who sustained serious injuries in a road accident in March. He said the initiative also reflected the Madani government's concern for the welfare of those facing hardship, especially media practitioners nationwide. Also present were Communications Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa; Bernama chief executive officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin; Sabah State Information Department director Jainisah Mohd Noor; and Sabah Journalists Association (SJA) president Mariah Doksil. Sabah Media journalist Hafizul Andie Zulkarnain, 35, who is still recovering from surgery for a bowel complication and ruptured appendix in June, expressed his heartfelt thanks after receiving the contribution from Nur-ul Afida at his residence in Sepanggar, Kota Kinabalu, last Tuesday. 'Thank you for taking the time to visit and hand over the contribution. It will definitely help with my treatment expenses during my recovery,' he said. Meanwhile, Nur-ul Afida said media associations in Sabah could reach out to the secretariat of Tabung Kasih@Hawana, managed by Bernama, to provide information on media practitioners facing health issues or hardships. 'I would like to seek the cooperation of media associations in Sabah to share information with us so that we can assist our fellow media practitioners in need,' she said. Meanwhile, Mariah expressed hope that the SJA could serve as a key platform for coordinating aid to media practitioners in need. 'We will suggest the names of those eligible to receive donations and assist in providing the necessary information,' she said. The Tabung Kasih@Hawana initiative reflects the spirit of Malaysia Madani by upholding values of compassion and care, particularly for media practitioners who have long contributed to society but are now facing life or health challenges. The fund was established as a Communications Ministry initiative and implemented through Bernama to support serving and retired journalists and other media practitioners who are facing hardships or financial difficulties. To date, a total of 463 media practitioners nationwide have benefited from the initiative. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

MYMT 2026 To Boost Malaysia's Position In Global Medical Tourism
KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism (MYMT) 2026 has officially been launched today to strengthen the country's position as a top destination for affordable and high-quality healthcare services. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said with the tagline 'Healing Meets Hospitality', MYMT 2026 aims to attract more international healthcare travellers by highlighting the country's high-quality, affordable medical services, along with its warm hospitality and wellness offerings. "Malaysia has long been recognised as a preferred destination for medical tourism. In 2024, we recorded 1.6 million healthcare travellers, generating RM2.72 billion in revenue, which marks a 21 per cent increase from the previous year. 'These figures reflect the growing confidence in our healthcare system," he said in his speech at the launch of the campaign, here. Dzulkefly, who also chairs the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), said the country's international standing in the sector was further reinforced in May this year, when it was ranked among the world's top 10 medical tourism destinations by Nomad Capitalist, alongside regional peers such as Singapore and Thailand. He said the campaign supports the broader goals of Visit Malaysia 2026 by positioning healthcare as a key economic and reputational driver, with the potential to generate between RM12 and RM15 billion by 2030 through spillover benefits to airlines, hotels, transport services, and local communities. Among the highlights of MYMT 2026 is the Flagship Medical Tourism Hospital (FMTH) programme, which recognises excellence in clinical care, innovation and international patient services. "Four outstanding hospitals that include Institut Jantung Negara, Island Hospital Penang, Mahkota Medical Centre, and Subang Jaya Medical Centre are currently in the final stages of assessment. We look forward to announcing the winner in December," he said. The campaign also introduced celebrated singer Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza as its official ambassador, highlighting her as a symbol of trust, authenticity and compassion - values that reflect the core essence of Malaysia Healthcare.
