Since 1957, there has been major reorganization of health care services in Malaysia. This article assesses the changes and challenges in health care delivery in Malaysia and how the management in health care processes has evolved over the years including equitable health care and health care financing. The health care service in Malaysia is changing towards wellness service as opposed to illness service. The Malaysian Ministry of Health (MOH), being the main provider of health services, may need to manage and mobilize better health care services by providing better health care financing mechanisms. It is recommended that partnership between public and private sectors with the extension of traditional medicine complementing western medicine in medical therapy continues in the delivery of health care.
自1957年以来，马来西亚的医疗保健服务进行了重大重组。本文评估了马来西亚医疗保健服务提供方面的变化和挑战，以及多年来医疗保健流程管理是如何演变的，包括公平的医疗保健和医疗保健融资。马来西亚的医疗保健服务正在从疾病服务转向健康服务。作为主要医疗服务提供者的马来西亚卫生部（MOH）可能需要通过提供更好的医疗保健融资机制来管理和调动更好的医疗保健服务。建议在医疗保健服务提供方面，继续保持公共部门与私营部门的伙伴关系，并在医学治疗中将传统医学与西医相结合。
