After completed the final draft by 2019, finally the book about Malaysian health policy and systems development is published by Cambridge University Press.
I contributed as a co-author for the Chapter 11 "Medical Products", and 2 case studies (11.1 & 12.1).
The good thing about this publication is, this is an open-access book, you may download and read the whole book or selected chapters at your own convenience.
Thanks to the strong dedication and commitments from the UNU-IIGH team who was doing the editorial works. Plenty of meetings at the UNU-IIGH meetings, quite a number of draft versions and revisions (as well as numerous sketches of the systems diagrams to go with David). Special thanks go to the Editors Dr Indra Pathmanathan, Dr David Tan and Lim Shiang Cheng. They had given great opportunity and a lot of patience to me and co-authors.
I'm grateful to have collaborated with my most knowledgeable co-author Prof. Thomas Paraidathathu, he did most of the heavy lifting on the pharmaceutical development history in Malaysia. Also, I'm glad to team up with Dr Faizul Nizam Abu Salim to write about the great achievement of affordable treatment of Hepatitis C in Malaysia. This is truly a success story linking the Ministry of Health with many leading health advocacy groups and NGOs.
