00:00Now, as a nation, we are at a pivotal point in our health reform journey.
00:22The Ministry of Health is building the foundation of a system that is future-focused, future-ready, hopefully future-proof as well.
00:31A system that is digitally enabled, data-driven, and centered on early detection, personalized care, and stronger population health outcome.
00:44And I have pledged and I have vouched to do this. And already, if you are coming back a second time, as they say, second bite to the cherry,
00:55I really want to make sure that you will have a health care system, both system and delivery worthy of a Madani government and citizenry,
01:06so that we'll be able to truly, you know, exemplify health care, you know, beyond just acute sick care.
01:18So, that will be the way we want to go.
01:22And we have just recently launched our plan strategic pendigitalan, our strategic plan for digital health, 2026-2030.
01:31And together with the National Health Interoperability Platform, and our shift towards finally an overarching, you know, purpose or objective of a value-based health care.
01:48You know, we really want to ensure that Malaysia now transition from the episodic care to precision-driven, continuous health management.
02:00And this is truly the value-based health care that I vouch to deliver in at least for the next two years in this 15 parliamentary session.
02:12And technologies that enhance diagnostic clarity and accuracy will be truly, will be really essential to this evolution.
02:23And this transformation becomes even more urgent as we confront the burden of disease of cancer, cardiovascular diseases,
02:33chronic respiratory conditions, chronic respiratory conditions, and as we very well know, the number one premature death, killer Malaysia is still IHD,
02:47followed closely by lung, by pulmonary and the rest of it.
02:52So, you having this truly would be a great help.
02:56Now, the rising burden of cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory condition, and realities of a demographic transition into an aging population and aging society
03:06will all, you know, demand for a more modernized, if I may use that word, care model and delivery model,
03:22which has, which must now, you know, be put in place.
03:27And the future of health care will depend on only on treatment, but on how early and how precisely we can detect diseases.
03:40And all these cutting-edge technologies are really, you know, making it all possible, yeah.
03:46Now, ladies and gentlemen, within this national agenda, innovation plays a defining role,
03:54and advanced diagnostics are no longer an option.
03:59They are almost foundational to enabling early intervention and strengthening clinical decision-making.
04:08And imaging technologies that we are now seeing that reduce radiation exposure,
04:14these are very low radiation, by the way,
04:18improve precision or clarity, enhance tissue differentiation are key to achieving a better outcome for patients.
04:28So, patient journey is so very important.
04:31And patient experience, and especially their unmet expectation all this far.
04:36Yet, technology must be complemented by strong partnerships.
04:40And Malaysia's healthcare ecosystem is at its best when public and private sectors work in synergy.
04:49The Ministry of Health welcomes public-private contributions that elevate standards,
04:55expand capacity, and introduce capabilities that benefit the entire nation.
04:59The spirit of shared purpose is essential to building a system that is resilient, modern,
05:08and truly centered on the well-being of all Malaysians.
05:13Against this backdrop, today's milestones stand out as significant and both significant and timely.
05:26Sunway Medical Center is now the first hospital in Malaysia to introduce photon counting,
05:34computed tomography, the PCCT, your new tom, you know, alpha model,
05:40the next generation innovation that I've just said and alluded to you earlier.
05:46Now, I've already, this has been well elaborated by Dr. Adam earlier.
05:54And I also want to make a mention that up to 50% lower radiation exposure is offering safer scan
06:04for pediatric patients, chronic patients, and those requiring repeated imaging.
06:11That's where it becomes, you know, it's become higher risk.
06:16So you have, you know, even congenital heart diseases follow-up would be truly amenable to all this technology.
06:27And, of course, it's shown that, you know, from cardiovascular imaging, oncology, neurology,
06:34pulmonary and infectious diseases as well.
06:38So all the range, yeah.
06:40So these advantages translate into greater diagnostic certainty and more informed treatment pathways
06:47that make it all the more pertinent to have at least one in Sunway to represent all of us in Malaysia for the time being.
07:00Thank you so much, you young people, Dr. TTC Alman, for making the time and effort to join us here at this monumental achievement.
07:17Thank you so much, Dr. TTC Alman, for making the time and effort to join us here at this monumental achievement.
