EUROCHAM Malaysia CEO, Mr. Sven Schneider together with the team had a significantly positive and fruitful meeting with Mr. David Pavlita, Deputy Head of Mission, and Ms. Renata Brandstatterova, Economic and Trade Counsellor today at the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Kuala Lumpur. We are happy to have this engagement with the Czech Republic embassy to strengthen and bolster alliances for a prosperous EU-Malaysia partnership.

EUROCHAM Malaysia looks forward to more collaborative efforts, exploring more opportunities as well as future engagements and strategic plans with the Czechs by creating awareness through an array of promotion and advocacy programmes as well as campaigns and events.

Malaysia will align its National Strategic Plans for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and upcoming White Paper on the Future of Healthcare with the World Health Organisation's (WHO) Implementation Road Map, said Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

In his intervention remarks at the 150th Session of the WHO's Executive Board Meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, Khairy said Malaysia welcomed the Implementation Road Map as it would provide important guidance on the country's respective programmes in achieving NCD-related goals.

“One of the key lessons learnt in managing the Covid-19 pandemic is the effectiveness of a whole-of-nation approach.

“Similarly, in preventing and controlling NCDs, we need an all-encompassing approach at the national and sub-national levels with multi-stakeholder collaboration involving the government, civil society, private sector and local communities,” he said.

Join us on Wednesday, February 9, 2022, at 3PM (+8 GMT) for our AdvocacyTalks Webinar with Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) on the topic of Forging Industry Resilience with the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Industry Blueprint 2021-2025.

Over the past decade, Malaysia has gained popularity as a safe and trusted destination for healthcare travel due to its uniqueness, cultivated in a seamless end-to-end ecosystem involving public and private industry players that have attracted approximately 8.4 million healthcare travellers since 2011. The sudden emergence of the pandemic greatly impacted the healthcare travel industry and required the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) to rapidly pivot its strategy to recover and rebuild the industry.

With an overall aspiration to provide the best Malaysia healthcare travel experience by 2025, the Blueprint will allow MHTC to forge industry resilience as Malaysia rebounds from the pandemic safely and securely according to streamlined policy directions and more importantly, for continuity of care for global citizens in need of critical care.

A great start to new sustainable opportunities!
