The certificates were presented by Health Minister YB Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad to representatives of the respective divisions, following earlier recognition received by KKM Secretary-General Datuk Seri Hj Hasnol Zam Zam Hj Ahmad from Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar at the RKB Recognition Ceremony on 29 June 2026.
KKM received three recognitions under the High-Potential Project category, reflecting significant improvements in healthcare service delivery efficiency across key divisions.
Among the recognised initiatives was a project by the Digital Health Division aimed at improving the efficiency of medical record management in health clinics. Another recognition went to the Medical Development Division for initiatives enhancing the efficiency of healthcare financing mechanisms.

The agency also shortened approval periods for clinical trial import licences and manufacturing licences from 80 days to 48 days, significantly improving regulatory efficiency.
