Public Health #22: Health Allocations – How Much Is Enough?

With Budget 2020 around the corner, we look at what goes into federal health allocations. How are these allocations determined, what are the priorities and how much is considered enough for the country’s health needs? We hear from three perspectives: Azrul Mohd Khalib, CEO of Galen Centre for Health & Social Policy; Dr Kelvin Yii, MP Bandar Kuching & Member of Parliamentary Budget Select Committee; and Dr Lim Chee Han, independent health policy researcher.
