KUALA LUMPUR, 28 November 2025 – The Malaysia International Healthcare (“MIH”) Megatrends 2025 concluded at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre yesterday, marking three days of focused dialogue that strengthened national direction on how technology, system reform and inclusive care models must align to improve healthcare delivery for the future.

Over the course of the conference, discussions deepened practical understanding of how artificial intelligence can support clinical decision-making, how digital integration can improve continuity of care and how sustainable approaches can reinforce long-term system resilience.
