Successes and obstacles in implementing social health insurance in developing and middle-income countries
Social health insurance (SHI) is a form of health finance mechanism that had been implemented in many countries to achieve universal health care (UHC).

Promoting seamless transfer-of-care for stroke patients in primary care
Background Post-stroke care after hospital discharge suffers from lack of intersectoral collaboration within the public health sectors. Hence, primary care remains the only option in managing stroke patients in underserved areas in Malaysia. This study aimed to identify the areas, which can be better coordinated to deliver optimal poststroke care in community setting. A seamless transfer of care model known as integrated Care Pathway for Post Str…
The post discharge stroke care services in Malaysia
Background The care of post discharge stroke patients worldwide is fragmented. For developing countries, lack of guidelines upon discharge from tertiary care and access to specialised care complicates provision of optimal care. Albeit shortcomings, primary care continues to provide care in less than favourable circumstances. This study aimed to evaluate practices of Family Medicine Specialists (FMS) in managing post discharge stroke patients at p…
Periodontal disease as an indicator of chronic non-communicable diseases

Nevertheless, its burden to the health care system is often largely neglected. Identification of non-communicable diseases which are associated with periodontal disease and understanding of the strengths of the proposed associations is important so that health care providers may identify co…
