MELAKA: The Melaka government welcomes a formation of a healthcare cooperative in the state to boost the growth of medical tourism and to create an affordable healthcare system, says an executive councillor.

State entrepreneur, cooperative development and consumer affairs committee chairman Allex Seah Shoo Chin said he was willing to discuss the setting up of a cooperative with interested parties with an aim to provide high-quality and equitable healthcare to locals as well as tourists.

"The essence of this cooperative is to integrate the healthcare delivery system to reach the deserving groups by synergising with various private hospitals and clinics in the state," he said in an interview here on Thursday . He said the cooperative must be led by those in the medical field and able to deliver high-value healthcare."The state's healthcare industry is also a key economic driver for the state with the potential of luring more private hospitals to establish their operations in the state.

Seah said the cooperative can also be designed to benefit daily wage earners and gig economy workers to receive medical treatments at private clinics here.
