The crisis

The medical gap in Malaysia.

21.1%

of Malaysian adults live with diabetes, among the highest rates in Southeast Asia.

50.4%

of diabetes patients in Malaysia remain undiagnosed.

16.1%

of deaths in ages 20–79 in Malaysia are diabetes-related.

1st

highest diabetes rate in Southeast Asia. This is the ecosystem builders in this hackathon get to reshape.
