“The hospitals will also encourage interns to interact with doctors and staff, fostering innovation through the exchange of ideas and sharing of experiences.

“We are not only focusing on physical hospital infrastructure but also on enhancing medical technology and equipment while deepening our medical expertise.

“CMH Specialist Hospital has also begun researching and discussing the development of a traditional Chinese medicine Department. We firmly believe that the integration of Chinese and Western medical technologies is the future trend,” he said. – July 17, 2024.

  1. At this moment , virtually no medical insurance policies in Malaysia recognise Traditional Chinese Medicine for treatment claims.

    So it will likely still be an uphill battle to gain acceptance in Private Hospitals, unless things change.

    At this moment they are mainly limited in acceptance to outpatient treatments not involving hospitalisation.
