The main objective of this presentation was to showcase their knowledge of the fundamental components, functions, and structure of the healthcare system. They were divided into four groups of five members each, and were assessed accordingly by the subject lecturer.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The study of the healthcare system is an essential pursuit for individuals aspiring to and contribute to the physical and mental well-being of others, thus making a positive impact on society. It provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics, challenges, and opportunities within the fields of healthcare. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The World Health Organisation (WHO) describes a health system as one which encompasses all organisations, people, and actions whose primary intent is to promote, restore, or maintain health. The healthcare system in Malaysia is provided by both the public and private sectors.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Public healthcare is paid by Malaysian citizens through the general taxation of income, which means that patients are only required to pay nominal fees in this heavily subsidised public sector. However, the nominal fees in this public system are only applicable for Malaysian nationals, and the government does not have a reciprocal healthcare policy with any other country. Foreigners are eligible for public healthcare, so long as they pay additional fees, or they can alternatively opt for private healthcare.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Towards the end of the presentation, the students were given the opportunity to ask questions and share additional input related to the topic.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Apart from demonstrating their knowledge of the healthcare system in Malaysia, this presentation also enhanced the students\u2019 confidence in public speaking and allowed them the opportunity to learn to improve their communication skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20690\" src=\"http:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/Healthcare-Classroom-Activity-1-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/Healthcare-Classroom-Activity-1-1.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/Healthcare-Classroom-Activity-1-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/Healthcare-Classroom-Activity-1-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/Healthcare-Classroom-Activity-1-1-600x800.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20691\" src=\"http:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/Healthcare-Classroom-Activity-2-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/Healthcare-Classroom-Activity-2-1.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/Healthcare-Classroom-Activity-2-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/Healthcare-Classroom-Activity-2-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/05\/Healthcare-Classroom-Activity-2-1-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students taking the Diploma in Healthcare at SEGi College Sarawak recently held a group presentation on the overview of healthcare delivery models, healthcare providers, financing, and key stakeholders in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":20693,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[82],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20681"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/42"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20681"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20681\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20912,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20681\/revisions\/20912"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/sarawak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
