Ormond, Meghann; Han, Lim Chee | July 2018
Abstract
In the following pages, we provide a contemporary snapshot of the key policies and players shaping the development of private healthcare in Johor in order to inform policymakers, current commercial stakeholders and potential investors, and residents and civil society actors in the region about the latest trends, concerns and opportunities linked to the private healthcare sector in Johor. We also offer an overview of healthcare demand, facilities and human resources available in Johor that enables readers to compare the dimensions and competitiveness of Johor’s private healthcare services sector with other key leading states in Malaysia. This information draws on documentary sources, interviews with key private health and aged-care sector representatives, and participant observation. We wrap up the report with reflections on the future challenges and opportunities the private healthcare services sector faces in Johor.
