In September 2019, the Ministry of Health (MoH)
launched its Strategic Plan 2019-2023. The plan
provides a direction towards strengthening the
country’s healthcare system and services through
services that are of better quality, efficient,
effective, responsive, equal and easily accessible.
With the theme ‘Investing for Our Future’, the plan is
a motivator for the ministry’s employees to achieve
the objective of National Vision 2035 in enhancing
the quality of life in Brunei.
Brunei Darussalam has made remarkable
achievements, particularly in meeting most of the
global health targets such as the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals, attainment of
universal health coverage and certification of free
from infectious diseases namely polio, malaria,
measles and recently rubella.
The development of this strategic plan builds on these
achievements while ensuring the ministry’s action
plans continue to be forward looking, prepared and
responsive to the challenges of time.
Aside from setting clear directions, the plan also
places high emphasis on ensuring an effective
implementation and review mechanism. Each
strategic goal and initiative has its designated
leads and owners responsible to operationalise
the action plans.
The MoH’s actions today and the next five years is
an investment in the future in pursuit of the vision
for Brunei as a healthy and resilient nation.
