WAY FORWARD

In striving to provide better health service to the community, the Medical Programme faces challenges of
rapid advancement in medical and information technology, higher patient expectations, epidemiological
and sosio-demographic shifts towards an aging population and changing attitudes towards lifestyle.
Greater expectations and demands are the natural evolution of better education, higher income and
more access to information. Changing trends in sosio-demographic and disease patterns oresent a
major challenges in the containment of health care cost.

Understanding these issues, the Programme needs to constantly revise on the planning, implementation,
coordination, monitoring of the existing system to ensure smooth interphasing of medical care and to
overcome obstacles in the provision of medical services to the population. Despite the challenges, the
Medical Programme will stay focus, that is to ensure quality and safe care to our clients.
