CHAPTER 2 Developing Health Service Hub in ASEAN and Asia Region Country Report on Healthcare Service Industry in Malaysia MAZNAH DAHLUI University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. NORLAILI ABDUL AZIZ Cyberjaya University College of Medical Science, Malaysia. The health status of Malaysians has been comparable to some developed country, with her successful dual healthcare system and equal shares of healthcare financing. The government pro-industry orientation has boosted up the tourist industry in general and health tourist industry specifically, which has shown tremendous achievements since the last decade. Malaysia is the preferred destinations for medical tourism nowadays, given the low exchange rates, highly qualified medical specialist, high technology medical devices, international credentialed safety and quality services, and the comparable medical cost around the regions. Her multi ethnics, various respectable cultures, beautiful country with peaceful and politically stable environment, good climate around the year, friendly and English speaking population are among other factors that have made Malaysia popularly visited for health reasons. The market attracts not only the people from neighboring countries like Indonesia and Singapore, but also from Japan.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 over expression has been reported in 23% - 37.3% of Malaysian breast cancer patients. Trastuzumab is a recommended adjuvant therapy for patients with early breast cancer. Currently, trastuzumab is administered intravenously but a new subcuta- neous formulation could save time and costs. In Malaysia, the Ministry of Health funds most of the costs of secondary care, including cancer treatment. We performed a cost-minimisation analysis from the Ministry of Health and societal perspectives by adapting an excel-based mathematical model. Model inputs comprised of drug, consumables and personnel costs. Data sources were gov- ernment statistics, price lists, government salary scales and estimated personnel time costs. Doctors, nurses and pharmacists at four hospitals estimated the time to perform necessary tasks following their usual practice.

Abstract Objective: This study sought to describe the use of traditional and complementary alternative medicine’s (CAM) in a cohort of cancer patients in Johor, a state in Southern Peninsular Malaysia. Methodology: This is a four-month cross sectional study, targeted, on cancer outpatient clinics in three hospitals. Ethical approval and signed written informed consents were obtained from the patients, prior to the study. A standardised, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtain the socio-demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics and questions on CAM’s use. Results: The response rate was 95.4%. The majority of the participants was females (79.9%) and was from the Malay ethnic group (79.2%) with most having only a secondary education (41.8%). The mean age was 57.7 ± 12.47 years with the majority having breast cancer (51.1%). There were no significant association between the socio demographic variables with CAM’s use with the exception of hospital, participants’ religion and ethnicity (p-value < 0.05). Many patients preferred biologically-based therapies (87.8%) such as herbs and dietary supplements with a large proportion having reported to have utilised CAM after having completed the conventional treatment (40.0%).
