Abstract

Malaysia is a multicultural society, comprising a federation of 13 states and three
territories in a parliamentary democracy. As an upper-middle-income country,
Malaysia’s society and economy has transformed in recent years, with the
population benefiting from a well-established health care system that offers
equitable and universal access, and strong social and economic growth. This
case study examines key aspects of primary health care (PHC) in Malaysia to
inform future policy and practice, incorporating lessons learned during the
COVID-19 pandemic between January 2020 and April 2022. It identifies
opportunities to strengthen PHC, including re-orienting services towards wellness,
improving community empowerment, and harnessing the potential of digital
health and public-private partnerships.
