The Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia (APHM) welcomes the e‑CKAPS Licensing Portal announced by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, as part of Budget 2027.
The government’s decision to allocate RM7.5 million in Budget 2027 to develop the e‑CKAPS portal will allow licensing of private health care facilities to be carried out fully online, and is estimated to reduce licensing processing times by up to 65 per cent.
APHM presented the proposal for online license processing at the Budget 2027 Dialogue, and its inclusion in the Budget shows the government’s willingness to listen to industry and to act on practical reforms that improve how healthcare is regulated and delivered.
For this, APHM extends appreciation to Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad for his consistent emphasis on the importance of digitalisation in the health care sector and for supporting the proposal.
