Modern medical drugs and clinical therapies are no longer enough to save Malaysia from its most rampant health crisis.
In a direct address to the nation’s leading medical bodies, Ministry of Health (MOH) Deputy Director General (Medical) Datuk Dr Mohd Azman Yacob warned that while advanced pharmacology continues to evolve, the actual key to lowering the country’s crippling diabetes rates lies entirely outside the clinic doors.
“Diabetes remains one of Malaysia’s most prevalent health concerns,” Dr Mohd Azman stated, speaking at the official signing ceremony renewing the nation’s Diabetes Lifestyle Programme (DLP) for another five years.
The milestone launch was carried out in collaboration with leaders from six premier healthcare professional associations—including the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) and the Malaysian Endocrine and Metabolic Society (MEMS)—and was supported by Abbott, a global healthcare leader renowned for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems.
