KUALA LUMPUR: Access to healthcare services remains a challenge for certain segments of the population following limited healthcare resources, according to the Health White Paper.
The report said that the Health Ministry will give priority to planning and monitoring of resources to ensure that at-risk groups receive adequate healthcare services and address systemic health inequalities.
"For example, the growing elderly population requires a comprehensive response to address their healthcare needs," it said. The geographical and socio-economic characteristics, especially in Sabah and Sarawak, pose particular challenges in terms of equity in healthcare delivery and coverage, noted the report.
Existing cross-sectoral guidelines and policies need to be reviewed to improve access to healthcare for all these groups.
