KUCHING: Health Management International (HMI) Medical will invest RM50 million over the next five years to strengthen Malaysia’s healthcare workforce as patient needs become more complex and medical technologies continue to advance.
Group chief executive officer (CEO) Chin Wei Jia said healthcare providers needed to invest not only in infrastructure and technology, but also in the professionals required to deliver increasingly advanced care.
“No matter how advanced a hospital may be, its greatest strength will always be the people working within it,” she said.
Chin said the RM50 million investment would be channelled through the HMI Malaysia Healthcare Workforce 2030 fund.
The fund will support scholarships, education sponsorships, clinical attachments and professional development opportunities across HMI Malaysia’s hospitals in Kuching, Johor and Melaka.
The initiatives will cover multiple disciplines, including medicine, nursing, allied health, healthcare management and emergency life support.
