Native languages and cultural-related courses will also be offered at public

universities in Sabah and Sarawak. All this will be done within the

framework of the National Education Philosophy.

In terms of healthcare services, all public hospitals will be equipped with the

state of the art technology and equipment to treat more patients, especially

those suffering from cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

The drug and medical equipment procurement system will also be made

more competitive so that the cheapest price will be paid for high-quality

medicines and equipment.

GLCs will be asked to contribute to upgrade healthcare infrastructure,

hospital buildings, clinics and education facilities. Special government funds

will also be used for this purpose.

Skim Peduli Sihat (Healthcare Insurance Scheme) like the one currently run

in Selangor will be introduced in Sabah and Sarawak, with special focus on

rural and remote areas.
