Malaysian Statistics On Medical Devices 2007. Kuala Lumpur 2008 This report is also published electronically on the website of the National Medical Device Survey at: http://www.crc.gov.my/nmds Funding: The National Medical Device Survey is funded by a grant from the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MRG Grant Number MRG-CRC-2008-02) FOREWORD The Ministry of Health Malaysia has embarked on a landmark project, the National Medical Device Survey (NMDS), to capture data on the availability and use of medical devices in both the government and private sectors in Malaysia and this report is an output of the project. This NMDS report is very relevant in the present environment of ever increasing healthcare costs in both the government and private sectors. We are almost completely lacking in data on the availability and use of medical devices in the country. This publication will help in some ways to rectify the situation. I am confident this publication will be a very useful reference to the government, the industry and the public and I must congratulate those who are involved in the survey for successfully completing the project. I am looking forward to see that the data are regularly updated through follow-up surveys. Y. BHG. DATUK IR. M.S. PILLAY Deputy Director General of Health, Research & Technical Support, Ministry of Health Malaysia i PREFACE Data on the availability and use of medical devices is important to better understand healthcare provision in a country. Availability and access to medical technologies are likely to differ among countries and almost certainly unevenly distributed within a country. These differences could be because of several factors, such as demographic differences, differences in epidemiology of disease, differences in medical approaches or differences in economic conditions. This type of information allows for better decision-making in the allocation of resources and procurement of medical technologies. The use of this information can help to ensure access to and appropriate use of medical technology for better health outcomes. To our knowledge, there has not been any published survey on the availability and utilization of medical devices in Malaysia and this aptly called National Medical Device Survey (NMDS) is, we believe, the first of its kind. However in carrying out this survey, in a country like Malaysia that does not have single central database on the procurement or reimbursement for medical devices, the task of compiling data on devices are fraught with problems. Data needed to be collected from multiple sources and some of these sources were less than forthcoming in providing data due to apprehension on the actual or possible use of the data or possibly, some sources were too busy to be able or want to provide the data needed. After the hurdle of data collection was surmounted, the next problem was data analysis. There was a need for intelligent and expert analysis to distill credible information out of all these data as the data from various sources were not always complete or clean or in the format or depth that was wanted. We therefore regard this first report from the NMDS as a proof of concept; it demonstrates such project is indeed feasible. These initial efforts and experiences in conducting NMDS will stand us in good stead. NMDS is a work in progress, and as it improves its coverage and secure better cooperation from all relevant source data providers over time, we expect to publish more comprehensive reports in future. We would like to thank all staff that has worked so hard in this survey. We would also like to thank all agencies and institutions who have helped in providing data and who have helped in one way or another. Dr. Lim Teck Onn Mr. Zamane Abd.
