Malaysia, as one of Asia's most recognised developing countries, has immense potential in an increasingly important sector that is healthcare. Healthcare in Malaysia under the responsibility of the government's ninistry of health has an efficient and widespread system of healthcare, operating a two-tier healthcare system consisting of both a government-run universal system and a co-existing private system
Malaysia's vision for health is to create a seamless and integrated healthcare system that is of quality, reliable, equitable and affordable. The key to attain this goal will be to inculcate strong core values of professionalism, caring culture and team work spirit within the healthcare community. Health services cover the provision of healthcare services (such as hospital services and medical and dental services), social work services (for example, nursing homes), human health activities and veterinary services. The value chain of the health services sub-sector includes the manufacture, provision and distribution of pharmaceutical products, medical equipment and devices, health insurance, research and development (R&D), and education and training of medical personnel
Malaysia's Medical equipment industry has achieved international recognition in terms of capability and quality in a diverse range of products/services. The medical devices industry encompasses a broad range of products and equipment from examination gloves, implantable devices, orthopeadic devices and dialysers to imaging equipment and other devices which can be used for medical, surgical dental, optical and general health purposes. Malaysia remains one of the world's leading producer and exporter of catheters and surgical and examination gloves supplying 80 per cent of the world market for catheters and 60 per cent for rubber gloves, including medical gloves
