Healthcare Social Enterprises in Malaysia: Business Model and Innovation Path explores how Social Enterprises (SEs) are transforming service delivery for underserved communities across Malaysia. In the face of rising healthcare costs, overstretched public systems, and deepening access inequalities, these mission-oriented ventures are stepping in to fill critical gaps—offering innovative, agile, and community-centred solutions where traditional institutions fall short.  This book provides a much-needed empirical and conceptual framework to understand the operations, value propositions, and innovation pathways of healthcare SEs in Malaysia. Through case studies and qualitative insights, it dissects how SEs mobilise resources, collaborate with communities, and deliver accessible, affordable healthcare services. It also identifies the structural and institutional enablers necessary to empower SEs as agents of systemic change.  Written for academics, practitioners, and policymakers, this book offers theoretical grounding, practical knowledge, and narrative-driven analysis to guide the development of inclusive, sustainable healthcare ecosystems in Malaysia and beyond.
