26 October 2024

CelcomDigi Berhad (“CelcomDigi”) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AmBank (M) Berhad and AmBank Islamic Berhad (“Ambank”) in relation to a three-year collaboration to support eligible medical providers with digital healthcare solutions, as part of uplifting the nation’s healthcare system nationwide. The partnership aligns with MCMC’s strategic initiative to elevate Malaysia’s healthcare system to global standards. It not only aims to position Malaysia as a leader in future healthcare but establishes the foundation for a more connected, inclusive, and secure healthcare ecosystem.

As Malaysia advances towards a digitally empowered future, this collaboration will accelerate the digital transformation of Malaysia’s healthcare system, ensuring better patient outcomes, improved healthcare access, and strengthened financial support for medical providers nationwide - thus ensuring that nobody is left behind.

The partnership will focus on providing healthcare institutions with advanced digital tools and services, including:

  • Holomedicine
    • By leveraging the power of mixed reality (MR) and artificial intelligence (AI), this solution is set to revolutionise medical education and enhance patient care. It will also advance precision medicine practices, making healthcare more efficient and effective.
  • Smart Medical Assistance Solutions
    • Medi-Kiosk: A smart health kiosk to monitor and record vital health metrics.
    • Medi-Doc: An innovative platform connecting users with healthcare professionals anytime and anywhere.
    • Medi-Scan: A software-based biometric health scan technology that uses AI and computer vision to assess various health indicators including a person’s face, voice, and body movements.
  • Remote Healthcare Solutions
    • With Medi-Scan, patients can receive remote health assessments, facilitating continuous monitoring and improving healthcare access, especially in underserved areas.

The adoption of digital-driven innovations is crucial to enable the strong adoption of predictive, preventive and precision treatment. This approach will enhance diagnostics, tailor treatments to individual needs, and improve clinical outcomes for medical providers, ultimately establishing a new standard for patient care across the country.

To support the adoption of these digital healthcare solutions, AmBank Group will offer a comprehensive suite of financial solutions, including but not limited to, loans/ financing, insurance/ takaful, and payment solutions. This allows healthcare providers to digitalise their operations, ensuring that they can deliver the highest level of care to their patients.

“Our partnership with AmBank Group is a significant step forward in making healthcare more accessible and effective for all Malaysians,” said CelcomDigi’s CEO Datuk Idham Nawawi. “By integrating the latest technology in our digital healthcare solutions, we are making medical services more accessible to Malaysians, ensuring that more people have the opportunity to receive the quality care they deserve. As the nation’s widest and fastest network provider, this collaboration allows us to bring inclusive healthcare to all, ensuring quality care reaches everyone, no matter where they are.”

Jamie Ling, Group CEO of AmBank Group, commented, “This collaboration represents a pivotal moment in our journey to drive innovation within the healthcare sector. The integration of telecommunications and digital infrastructure is essential for expanding access to quality medical services, particularly in underserved areas. Together with CelcomDigi, we are committed to enabling healthcare providers to harness the latest technologies, while also ensuring that financing solutions are available to support their needs. We believe this partnership will help reshape healthcare delivery in Malaysia, bringing it into a more connected and efficient future.”
