‘Madani economy’ lacks focus on healthcare, says think tank

The Galen Centre for Health and Social Policy said Malaysia needed better healthcare facilities and services to reap the benefits of a progressive modern economy.

Citing the health ministry’s data from 2019, Galen CEO Azrul Khalib said about half of Malaysian adults were overweight or obese, while NCDs accounted for 67% of premature deaths that year. “This was left out of the challenges identified . Not recognising and responding to this challenge will cause Malaysia to fail in reaching its United Nations human development index target,” he said in a statement.

To appropriately reap the benefits of a progressive modern economy and compete with other nations, he said Malaysia needed better healthcare facilities and services.
