WAY FORWARD

The rapidly changing health care system requires nurses to possess increasing knowledge, clinical
competency, autonomy, empowerment and clinical judgment. Furthermore, sophisticated technologies
and society’s orientation to health and self-care are rapidly causing educational and training needs of
nurses to grow. Thus, The Nursing Division has outlined and planed many educational and training
programs, educating nurses to apply Evidence Based Practice to lead a better performance to our
patients.

TRADITIONAL AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE PRACTICE DIVISION (T&CM)
The National Policy of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (T&CM) was developed in 2001 and
revised in 2007. This policy is important in charting the T&CM development framework in Malaysia and
is used as a guide to achieving the goals set.

The Traditional and Complementary Medicine Division, Ministry of Health Malaysia (MoH), was gazetted
under the research and technical support program (P&ST) in February 2004 with the post office on 1
December 2004.

In January 2006, the Cabinet had agreed with the recommendation of the Malaysian Ministry of Justice
to establish an integration hospital, namely the absorption of T&CM services into the national healthcare
system. Three (3) government hospitals have been identified as pioneers for the implementation of the
T&CM services in the 9th Malaysia Plan as follows:
i. Kepala Batas Hospital, Penang - 2007
ii. Putrajaya Hospital, Putrajaya - 2008
iii. Sultan Ismail Hospital, Johor - 2008
