About the forum
A working forum, built around shared challenges
The United Kingdom and Malaysia share deep ties in medicine, from generations of clinicians trained across both countries to growing partnerships between hospitals, universities and industry.
The forum gives the people who lead, fund and deliver care a setting to compare experience candidly, meet their counterparts and agree concrete next steps.

Digital health and AI
Electronic records, virtual care and the safe adoption of AI in diagnosis and operations.
Clinical research
Joint trials, shared data and research partnerships between universities and hospitals.
Quality and patient safety
Standards, accreditation and what each system has learned about measuring outcomes.
Investment and partnership
Public–private models, cross-border investment and routes to market in both countries.
Ageing and chronic disease
Models of care for older populations and long-term conditions, in hospital and at home.
