Health White Paper: Access to healthcare services still a challenge for some segments

The report said that the Health Ministry will give priority to planning and monitoring of resources to ensure that at-risk groups receive adequate healthcare services and address systemic health inequalities.

"For example, the growing elderly population requires a comprehensive response to address their healthcare needs," it said. The geographical and socio-economic characteristics, especially in Sabah and Sarawak, pose particular challenges in terms of equity in healthcare delivery and coverage, noted the report.

Existing cross-sectoral guidelines and policies need to be reviewed to improve access to healthcare for all these groups.
