0158 GMT - The Malaysian healthcare sector may benefit from high-acuity medical tourism and more self-sufficient biopharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution this year, MBSB Research says in a note. The outlook is supported by an aging population, rising demand for precision treatments and government incentives for both public and private healthcare providers, it says. Ongoing digitalization and adoption of artificial intelligence in hospital administration and medical equipment should also enhance efficiency, it says. However, downside risks remain, including increases in medical costs, potential shifts in drug policies and pricing pressures stemming from global trade tariffs, it adds. MBSB maintains a positive rating on the Malaysian healthcare sector.(yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
