The Malaysian government places importance on the expansion and development of health care, putting 5% of the government social sector development budget into public health care. Over the last couple of years, the Malaysian Health Ministry has increased its efforts to overhaul the system and attract more foreign investment.The Government has also been trying to promote Malaysia as a health care destination, regionally and internationally.[105] The government implements a universal healthcare system, which co-exists with the private healthcare system.[106] Infant mortality rate – a standard in determining the overall efficiency of healthcare – in 2005 was 10, comparing favourably with the United States and western Europe. Life expectancy at birth in 2008 was 74 years.[107] The Malaysian health care system requires doctors to perform a compulsory three years service with public hospitals to ensure that the manpower in these hospitals is maintained.[106]
A major problem with the health care sector is the lack of medical centres for rural areas, which the government is trying to counter through the development of and expansion of a system called "tele-primary care".
