The 'Movement Control Order' has changed the healthcare business where hospitals have to limit patients' coming which apparently affects the hospital business. Many surgery cases have to be postponed or delayed as patients are reluctant to come to the hospital. In order to ensure patients do not miss their medications, hospitals have implemented the 'Home Medication Delivery Service' to facilitate patients to top up their medication. However, the investment made by KPJ does not meet the expectation where the number of users is stagnant and inconsistent. From the large investment made, the hospital perceived that the service would be better and improved, the customer complaints decreased and the number of users of the system will also increase.
