KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry has welcomed Bank Negara Malaysia's move to regulate the rise in medical and health insurance/takaful premiums, calling it a timely short-term intervention to alleviate the burden of sudden inflation on the public.
In addition, it said that the Private Health Care Facilities and Services Act 1998 would also be reviewed to strengthen the regulatory framework of the private health sector, ensuring equal access to high-quality, value-based health services for the public. The ministry clarified that medical inflation was a result of higher salaries and wages for healthcare workers, coupled with the ageing population, which contributed to an increase in medical needs as more people reached their golden age.
