The records a Malaysian clinic must keep
A Malaysian private clinic carries record-keeping obligations under the Poisons Act 1952, the Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Act 1998, the Personal Data Protection Act 2010, service tax legislation and LHDN's e-Invoice regime. These pages explain each one in full.
These pages exist because the answers are hard to find in one place and easy to get wrong. Two of them, the scope of the Prescription Book, and who may witness a psychotropic disposal, are things we found stated incorrectly in widely circulated summaries, so we read the statute instead.
