Background:
A little bit on the background of the maternal and child health services in Malaysia.
Maternal and Child health is an essential component of the National Rural Health
Development program 1950s. But, it has evolved to become a comprehensive service which is
delivered in the health clinic, on top of many other services that we deliver in our health clinics.
Actually, we have categorized our health clinics into types 1 to 7. The working hours are from
8am to 5pm. We start off at 7:30am for registration but there are some clinics where they have
extended hours and work until 10 pm and half day on weekends.
