Guide to GST for Healthcare Services (Malaysia)Alan Teh
This document provides a guide on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) treatment of healthcare services in Malaysia. It outlines that healthcare services provided by the government are not subject to GST, while most services provided by private healthcare facilities are exempt from GST. Some services, such as those provided under contract by non-employee healthcare professionals at private facilities, or certain pharmaceutical services, are standard rated and subject to GST.
The document provides information about an upcoming Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Malaysia, including its implementation date of April 1, 2015 at a rate of 6%. It outlines that GST will replace existing sales and service taxes. Healthcare services are discussed, with those provided by government being outside the scope of GST and those provided by private licensed facilities being exempt from GST. The impact on doctors at government hospitals is that they will not be eligible for GST registration if only providing exempt healthcare services, and thus cannot claim GST incurred on items like clinic rental.

Malaysian students' international test scores have declined in recent years, registering drops in reading ability and science scores, though mathematics scores improved. This signals an increasing deterioration in Malaysia's education system according to international benchmarks, where Malaysia now ranks 52nd out of 65 countries. The Education Minister responded that if people are unhappy with the system, they can choose to send their children overseas for schooling.

This document discusses snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It notes that OSA is a clinical condition where the upper airway collapses intermittently during sleep. Risk factors include obesity, age, hypertension, and diabetes. Untreated OSA can lead to increased risks of hypertension, heart attack, stroke, and premature death. Diagnosis involves questionnaires, physical examination, and sleep studies. Treatment aims to reduce symptoms and health risks.
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells that produce abnormal antibodies. It causes bone destruction and can damage the kidneys and suppress the bone marrow. While the cause is unknown, risk factors include age, family history, and exposure to radiation. Symptoms include bone pain, fatigue, recurrent infection, and kidney problems. Diagnosis involves blood and urine tests and a bone marrow biopsy. Staging uses tests such as MRI, blood tests, and bone surveys. Treatment may include chemotherapy, steroids, radiation, stem cell transplants, and newer drugs that target specific pathways in myeloma cells. While not yet curable, novel agents have improved survival rates and quality of life compared to conventional chemotherapy alone.
A survey was conducted of 57 medical professionals from various backgrounds with 5-25 years of experience. The survey found:

Only 27% were satisfied with current systems and most felt electronic systems could save time and improve research/identification of patients. Respondents viewed healthcare IT systems as important/necessary to reduce paperwork

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
