IHH Healthcare Malaysia Strengthens Emergency Care Through Nationwide GP - Accident and Emergency Collaboration

Eisya Ereena
April 04, 2025
2 min
IHH Healthcare Malaysia, a leading private healthcare provider with a network of 18 hospitals nationwide, has successfully rolled out a series of Accident and Emergency (A&E) Collaboration events with General Practitioners (GPs) across the Central, Northern, and Southern regions, reinforcing the role of GPs as frontline partners in emergency care.



This initiative highlights IHH Healthcare Malaysia’s commitment to deliver timely, high-quality care by fostering stronger, seamless coordination between primary care providers and hospital emergency teams across its network, which includes Gleneagles Hospitals, Island Hospital, Pantai Hospitals, Prince Court Medical Centre and Timberland Medical Centre.



To operationalise this collaboration, IHH Healthcare Malaysia has implemented several key measures to enhance patient safety, streamline A&E referrals and optimise continuity of care:

• Timely Patient Updates for GPs: GPs will receive timely clinical updates on patients referred to A&E departments across IHH Healthcare Malaysia’s hospitals, ensuring continuity of care and informed follow-up management.


• Direct Access to A&E Teams: Dedicated phone lines will allow GPs to connect directly with A&E teams for urgent referrals, enabling prompt decision-making and early intervention.


• Seamless Two-Way Communication: Structured communication channels between GPs and A&E departments will ensure smoother patient clinical handovers, real-time updates and coordinated care delivery.


• GP Masterclasses & Practical Sessions: Expert-led sessions will equip GPs with up- to-date clinical skills in emergency care, including ENT emergencies, fracture recognition, suturing techniques and ECG interpretation.


• Basic Life Support (BLS) Training: To boost pre-hospital emergency readiness, GPs and their teams will receive training in CPR, AED and essential emergency response.
  

The inaugural events saw participation from GPs representing over 130 clinics across Malaysia, demonstrating strong interest and commitment from the primary care community in enhancing emergency response capabilities.

Jean-François Naa, CEO of IHH Healthcare Malaysia, said, 'Primary care is the foundation of a resilient healthcare system, and GPs are often the first point of contact for patients.

Through this collaboration, we are strengthening that vital role – ensuring GPs have direct access, streamlined referral pathways and timely clinical support when patients need hospital care.

Our goal is to deliver comprehensive care at every stage of the patient journey, with seamless continuity from clinic to hospital and back.'



Dr Jeewadas Baladas, Consultant Emergency Physician and Head of Emergency Services at IHH Healthcare Malaysia, said, 'From pre-hospital care to A&E admission and beyond, every step in the patient journey is vital.

Closer collaboration between GPs and our A&E teams ensures timely, evidence-based care for patients when clinically indicated.

Our 18 A&E departments follow a standardised triaging system and clinical pathways, ensuring consistent, high-quality emergency care.'

The nationwide rollout of this collaboration marks a step forward in redefining emergency care delivery in Malaysia.

By bridging the gap between GPs and emergency departments through timely access, structured communication and shared clinical responsibility, IHH Healthcare Malaysia is setting new standards for responsiveness, coordination, and excellence in patient care.

Malaysia’s Legacy Crisis: 85% Are Unprepared to Secure Their Family’s Future: Sun Life Malaysia Insurance Literacy Survey 2024/25

Eisya Ereena
March 28, 2025
4 min
85% of Malaysians face a looming legacy crisis without a financial legacy plan in place.

This conclusion is highlighted in a Sun Life Malaysia’s survey 'Insure or Unsure: Sun Life Insurance Literacy Survey 2025' examining Malaysians' level of knowledge and behaviour towards insurance literacy and legacy planning.

The survey reported that only a small percentage of Malaysians have taken concrete steps towards family wealth planning, despite the majority possessing a self-perceived understanding of the subject.

The survey was conducted among 1,040 Malaysians across different income brackets and geographical locations.

A Society at Risk

Raymond Lew, President/Country Head of Sun Life Malaysia

The survey revealed a troubling disconnect: while 65% of Malaysians acknowledge the importance of legacy planning, only 15% have taken concrete steps to safeguard their family’s financial future.

Proactive planners tend to utilise tools such as insurance/Takaful (71%), trust funds (53%), and wills (44%), yet the majority remain unprepared, leaving their families vulnerable to financial instability, potential conflicts, and the absence of intergenerational wealth transfer.

'We are building upon our previous year’s survey which focused on how insurance and takaful literacy impacts financial wellness.

In this second edition, we aim to delve deeper by exploring how financial legacy planning impacts financial security,' said Raymond Lew, President/Country Head of Sun Life Malaysia.

'Unfortunately, the results shine a spotlight on a worrying phenomenon.

The majority of families are unprepared, placing their loved ones at significant risk of financial insecurity.

With a more unified approach that respects cultural nuances and provides accessible tools, we can reverse this trend and secure brighter futures for Malaysian families.'

Among the 65% who recognise the need for legacy planning, 60% are married, 34% are single, and 6% are divorced, widowed, or separated, suggesting that married individuals with children are most aware of the need to secure wealth within their families.

Without a solid plan, however, they still risk the financial security of their dependents.

The findings also highlight that cultural and religious beliefs significantly shape legacy planning practices, particularly among Malay respondents who favor Islamic inheritance tools such as Hibah (a gift) and Wasiat (Islamic wills), in adherence to Shariah law.

These practices underscore the importance of culturally tailored guidance to meet the diverse needs of Malaysian families.

Encouragingly, 54% of those who have initiated legacy planning sought professional advice, indicating a growing trust in experts to navigate the complexities of legacy planning.

However, for families without clear plans, the lack of professional guidance or culturally appropriate tools increases the likelihood of disputes, especially in Malaysia’s diverse and increasingly blended family structures.

Barriers Preventing Progress

The survey revealed systemic obstacles that hinder Malaysians from prioritising legacy planning.

• Financial Constraints (41%): Low-income families face the greatest hurdles, with 68% of non-planners earning below RM5,249/month.


• Lack of Knowledge (39%): Many Malaysians remain unsure of how to begin, highlighting a lack of accessible resources and guidance.


• Competing Financial Goals (35%): Immediate needs often overshadow long-term planning, especially among single individuals and childless couples.

The Silent Wealth Divide

The findings expose a growing wealth gap in legacy planning.

Among high-income earners with more than RM5,000 monthly household income, 72% view legacy planning as critical.

Conversely, only 45% of low-income earners with less than RM2,000 monthly household income view legacy planning as important.

Additionally, among 11% of survey respondents who have not taken any steps towards legacy planning, 68% belong to the lower-income group and are completely disengaged from the topic, creating a ticking time bomb for wealth inequality.

Family Feuds on the Horizon

The lack of legacy planning exacerbates the risk of disputes among heirs, with 48% of Malaysians citing minimising conflicts as a top priority.

Blended and mixed-culture families, however, lead by example, with 82% actively discussing their plans compared to less proactive nuclear households.

'Without a solid plan, families are left vulnerable to financial turmoil and relational rifts–an issue that is particularly pronounced in Malaysia’s multicultural landscape and with the growing prevalence of blended families,' added Raymond Lew.

'We often witness how the absence of proper financial planning leads to not only financial hardship but also strained relationships among family members left behind.

This underscores the critical need to prioritise family wealth management early to safeguard both financial security and familial harmony.'

Improved Literacy but Not Enough

Self-perceived insurance/takaful literacy or understanding levels improved from 28% in 2023 to 35% in 2024, attributed to initiatives like Sun Life Malaysia’s year-long InsureLit campaign.

However, 23% of respondents still lack basic understanding, underscoring the need for continuous education.

'We are glad to see a rise in the number of Malaysians with positive insurance literacy levels, contributed in part by our InsureLit campaign since last year.

Nevertheless, there remains a continued need for awareness initiatives among Malaysians as we hope to ensure that every Malaysian is well-protected financially, and insurance/takaful knowledge plays a big part in helping them achieve it,' added Raymond Lew.

United Approach to Save a Society on the Brink of a Legacy Crisis

Now in its second year, the Insurelit campaign by Sun Life Malaysia aims to raise insurance literacy levels of Malaysians, particularly legacy planning, to ensure that families are prepared to face.

'Malaysia’s families are the bedrock of our society. We must empower them with the knowledge, tools and solutions needed to ensure stability and prosperity for future generations,' expressed Raymond Lew.

'There needs to be a concerted effort by financial institutions, policymakers, community leaders and individuals to address this crisis, be it making legacy planning accessible for all income levels or offering multilingual resources to guide Malaysians in this area,' expressed Raymond Lew.

Building on the success of InsureLit Campaign 2024, Sun Life Malaysia plans to amplify its efforts in 2025 with targeted initiatives, including digital and social educational resources, roadshows, explainer video series, youth financial literacy programme and more.

In 2024, the Insurelit campaign included educational programs to promote financial literacy among children, brand activations such as a wellness festival to instill health and wellness habits, innovative product launches, and nationwide roadshows, all designed to enhance financial and insurance literacy while empowering Malaysians to take control of their financial wellbeing.
