12 March 2019: During my presentation at the Hospital University Malaysia Sabah conference on sustainability, niche and governance, I concluded that moving forward, public universities must create a private hospital environment in their teaching centres. The importance of keeping experts in the university has to be addresses carefully as mere creating private wings will not reduce brain drain. New public universities must create a full fledge private hospital separated from their teaching facility.
University Malaysia Sabah hospital is due to be ready by 2020.
