THE government will conduct a comprehensive study on the country’s healthcare system to be prepared for future pandemics and health crises, said Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

Addressing the nation on the first anniversary of the Perikatan Nasional government, Muhyiddin said the study is divided into two phases, including projections and efforts that need to be taken until 2030.

“The first phase that is currently being implemented aims to examine objectively and set the main steps that need to be taken to strengthen the existing system.

“Among others, the first phase aims to evaluate the health system openly and objectively.

“The second phase will produce an action plan that details all the steps that need to be taken to achieve the objective of creating a sustainable health system and ready to face stress in the future,” said the Pagoh MP.

On an unrelated matter, Muhyiddin said the youth can play an important role in cultivating the spirit of unity.

He added that youth leaders should take the initiative to promote the spirit of unity among the people.

“Fair and equitable treatment for all citizens will be continued through various consolidation initiatives.

“In the economic aspect, it is based on the distribution of national prosperity that is shared fairly and equitably to all citizens across racial, religious and regional boundaries.

“While in the social aspect it is driven by the spirit of lasting goodwill.”

Muhyiddin was sworn in as prime minister after convincing Umno, PAS and Sarawak parties to form a government last March. – March 1, 2021.
