DHP Radio, Malaysia – Allianz Malaysia is throwing its weight behind the government’s new healthcare reform plan—warning the country could face a cost cliff if no action is taken.
Medical inflation in Malaysia hit 15% in 2024—far above global averages. Allianz’s CEO says without reforms, insurers may struggle to stay afloat once Bank Negara’s 10% premium hike cap ends in three years.
The government’s new “Reset framework” includes 5 major goals: revamp medical insurance, increase price transparency, reform payment systems, and expand affordable care options.
Allianz Malaysia believes the joint health-finance ministerial committee will finally push real results. Medical claims per 100 policyholders more than doubled from 2018 to 2023—and the clock is ticking.
