Consider This: Digital Health Records — The Vision for Seamless Healthcare
While Malaysia has made efforts to digitalise its public-healthcare system over the last three decades, however recurring barriers have hampered the establishment of a nationwide system.

On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Dr Rachel Gong, Deputy Director of Research at Khazanah Research Institute, and Ilyana Syafiqa Mukhriz Mudaris, Research Associate at KRI.
