Healthcare is getting very expensive.
What is this government going to do about it?

Critique of Malaysia's Rakan KKM Initiative in Public Hospitals

• The article criticizes the Rakan KKM initiative in Malaysia, which allows public hospitals to function like pay-per-use zones, raising concerns about equitable access to healthcare.

• It argues that this approach undermines the fundamental principle of public hospitals, which is to provide care to all citizens regardless of their financial status.

🦠 Pneumonia cases are on the rise in Malaysia 🇲🇾

Did you know pneumonia is one of the top causes of death here, especially among kids, seniors & those with weak immunity?

💸 A hospital stay can cost anywhere from RM3,000 to RM20,000 — and more if ICU or oxygen is needed.

🤒 Real talk:

A child with sudden high fever, 5 days in a private hospital = RM12,000+

An elderly parent ends up in ICU = savings gone in a week

😓 These things happen fast — and often without warning.

💊 Medications & treatment
🛏️ Room & board

UMMC Increases Fees Due to Rising Costs

• Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) has significantly increased its consultation, admission, and other service fees, with some increases reaching up to 233 percent.

• The fee revision, effective January 1, 2024, is attributed to rising costs of medical consumables and equipment, and aims to ensure UMMC's long-term financial stability.

• UMMC employs an Activity-Based Costing method to determine charges, and while the new fees are higher, they remain lower than those of private hospitals.

• Despite receiving the most government funding among university hospitals, UMMC emphasizes that the fee increase is necessary to maintain service quality and support doctors' training.
