Malaysia’s healthcare system is under pressure:—from an ageing population, rising demand for services, and uneven access across states and regions. And at the heart of it all is a critical constraint: the health workforce. A new strategic roadmap has been launched to guide long-overdue reforms in how we train, deploy, and retain healthcare professionals. But will the system move fast enough? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Professor Dr Elil Renganathan, Professor of Public Health & Policy at the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine & Health Sciences at Monash University Malaysia, and co-chair of the Strategic Engagement Group on Health Workforce And Governance. He previously served with the WHO in Geneva for over two decades, during which he held senior positions in the organisation.
