00:00 Malaysia is a very interesting country for us because we see the government launch a
00:24 white paper recently talking about how it's going to address all of the different challenges
00:31 that it faces. So from a Philips perspective we definitely see a clear role and opportunity
00:38 for us to help the government. We work closely with the Ministry of Health but also with
00:44 the government, other government hospitals, with the academic medical centres, with the
00:51 private sector because we see an opportunity for the Malaysian healthcare system to really
00:58 improve across many areas. So whether it's dealing with the ageing population but also
01:05 Malaysia has ambitions around medical tourism, there is a reputation in Johor, in Malacca,
01:13 in Penang for patients from Indonesia and other countries to come and get high quality
01:18 care at an affordable rate.

02:17 A fourth area is around reducing the cost of care. So what we want is for a hospital
02:27 that as it gets smarter it's using technology to work more efficiently, to improve productivity,
02:35 maybe to have less requirement for staff or manual processes so people are working
02:41 more productively and thereby reducing the cost of care.
