Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad announced six new healthcare programs at the National Health Technology Assessment Conference 2025. The Malaysian Health Technology Assessment Section spearheads these evidence-based medical improvements. Digital platforms and patient-centered services form the core of this healthcare transformation initiative. These programs aim to strengthen health policy delivery across Malaysia's medical system. Cross-sector collaboration will position the nation as a leader in health innovation.
The initiatives feature a redesigned MyMaHTAS website for clinical guidelines access and real-world evidence usage guides. Public health intervention frameworks will evaluate programs through equity and societal benefits. Digital health technology assessments ensure rigorous evaluation of mobile apps and telehealth platforms. An AI-powered Ask CPG platform provides clinicians with real-time clinical guideline access.
Dzulkefly wants MaHTAS to become a recognized Centre of Excellence similar to the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The minister noted that NICE gained international recognition despite being established after MaHTAS. Malaysia seeks to achieve similar global acknowledgment through these strategic healthcare initiatives.
