The government will focus on ensuring that existing medical equipment and facilities are functioning well through the adoption of the “Repairs, Replace and Restore” approach, says Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.
“To resolve this, we need to take the 3R approach towards all government medical equipment and facilities,” he said in a statement today, noting that though it would be costly and would take some time to implement, it was necessary. He said the government is studying its existing contract with Pharmaniaga to find the best way forward to address the problem.Meanwhile, in conjunction with the upcoming Budget 2020 announcement on Oct 11, Lim said the government is organising 12 focus group discussions to obtain views and recommendations.
“One of the most important issues raised was the provision of quality health services to all Malaysians, particularly the B40 group,” he said.
