OVERVIEW

“Private Healthcare Productivity Nexus”

The Malaysia Productivity Blueprint (MPB) was introduced in 2017 to enhance productivity and drive the economy of Malaysia forward. At the national, sectoral, and enterprise levels, various initiatives have been launched to unlock productivity potential. One of the vital sectoral initiatives is the establishment of Sector Productivity Nexus including Private Healthcare Productivity Nexus (PHPN). The PHPN operates under a public-private partnership governance model, with industry associations and enterprise champions taking the lead.

The Sector Productivity Nexus is instrumental in providing support to enterprises, increasing visibility of the implementation progress, and promoting awareness and adoption of sector-level initiatives. Sector-level initiatives outline explicit sectoral strategies to address sector-level productivity barriers. According to the blueprint, the productivity challenges faced by the private healthcare subsector in Malaysia consist of three main areas, which are workforce & performance, technology & innovation, and regulatory, serving as the basis for the formation of working groups under PHPN.

Moreover, enterprises are empowered through development and sharing of productivity-enhancing productivity tools. The productivity experts of the Sector Productivity Nexus will also facilitate in knowledge sharing, helping enterprises identify challenges as well as implementing sharing best practices and solutions.
