Overview

National Institutes of Health (NIH) or Institut Kesihatan Umum (IKU), operating under the Ministry of Health, acts as Malaysia's research arm for public health. Imagine a tireless investigator, delving into the mysteries of disease patterns, population health trends, and the impact of public health initiatives. IKU's researchers analyze data, conduct surveys, and explore various health issues, focusing on areas like infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, and environmental health. Their findings inform policy decisions, guide healthcare programs, and ultimately contribute to improving the health and well-being of all Malaysians.
