INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH MANAGEMENT (IHM) TRACES ITS ROOTS BACK TO A SMALL DIVISION UNDER THE INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC HEALTH KNOWN AS THE MANAGEMENT TRAINING DIVISION. IHM WAS PROPOSED UNDER THE 6TH MALAYSIA PLAN (1991-1995) AS ONE OF THE SIX INSTITUTES UNDER THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH). THE INSTITUTE WAS ESTABLISHED TO CONDUCT HIGH QUALITY RESEARCH AND TRAINING TARGETING PROFESSIONALS AND MIDDLE-LEVEL MANAGERS WITHIN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH, FOCUSING ON HEALTH SERVICE PRIORITIES BASED ON THE NATIONAL HEALTH AGENDA AS OUTLINED IN THE 9TH MALAYSIA PLAN (9MP). THE GOALS OF THE 9MP RELATED DIRECTLY TO IHM CORE FUNCTIONS, WHICH WERE TO ENHANCE THE HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM AND OPTIMIZE RESOURCES THROUGH RESEARCH, TRAINING AND CONSULTATION.
IN 2019, IHM UNDERWENT PHYSICAL RELOCATION FROM BANGSAR TO SETIA ALAM (AS ONE OF THE SIX INSTITUTES UNDER THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH) AS WELL AS ORGANIZATIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL RESTRUCTURING, WITH HIGHER PRIORITY ON RESEARCH AND CONSULTATION AND A SMALLER FOCUS ON TRAINING COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS. THE INSTITUTE IS DIVIDED INTO THREE CENTERS: CENTRE FOR CLINICAL GOVERNANCE AND DEVELOPMENT, CENTRE FOR LEADERSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CENTRE FOR ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE DEVELOPMENT.
