KUALA LUMPUR: Among the challenges faced by the Health Ministry in digitalisation was the high cost behind the implementation of the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system in hospitals across the country, the Dewan Rakyat was told.

Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa said the implementation of the EMR could cost up to RM1bil, because there was a need to upgrade existing hospital infrastructures.

Dr Zaliha was responding to Tan Hong Pin , who asked about the latest updates on the implementation of EMR in hospitals and clinics across the country. Meanwhile, Datuk Dr Zulkafperi Hanapi then interjected and said news reports have stated that Public Service Department sponsorship for first degrees this year would not include the medical, dental, pharmacy and education fields.
