Developed under medical leadership, the framework connects workplace programmes, sourcing and specialist delivery.<\/p>\n
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, 09 September 2026\u00a0\u2014 Novum Health Solutions Sdn. Bhd. has introduced\u00a0Novum Corporate Health, an evidence informed framework developed under medical leadership to help organisations plan, source and coordinate workplace health, medical readiness and selected industrial-safety requirements through the appropriate clinical, professional and technical delivery partners.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The model comes as employers face more complex decisions around healthcare, workforce programmes and supplier management. Aon\u2019s Malaysia Pulse Survey Report 2025 found that\u00a072% of organisations had experienced an increase in overall employee benefit costs over the previous three years, with 34% reporting increases of more than 10% a year. Aon\u2019s 2026 Global Medical Trend Rates Report separately projects Malaysia\u2019s employee medical-plan costs to rise by\u00a016% in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For employers, however, the issue is not simply cost. Workplace health and readiness are often spread across different functions: HR manages participation and communication; Procurement manages commercial terms; HSE and Facilities may own readiness requirements; Operations manages timing, site access and implementation. Delivery can then involve clinics, laboratories, allied health professionals, product suppliers, engineers and technical service providers.<\/p>\n
Novum is built around that interface.<\/p>\n
For HR and leadership teams, the framework can coordinate\u00a0corporate health screening, workplace influenza vaccination and doctor led health education, while also structuring annual health programme planning and selected partner led pathways in\u00a0musculoskeletal and physiotherapy support, nutrition and metabolic health, and sleep and fatigue awareness. Regulated clinical care, individual assessment, diagnosis, treatment, records and follow up remain with the responsible licensed provider.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For Procurement, HSE, Facilities and Operations teams, Novum can clarify requirements, compare suitable supplier options, coordinate quotations and logistics, and plan recurring needs such as\u00a0refills, expiry cycles, servicing, calibration and replacement. Current areas include\u00a0first aid kits and replenishment, eyewash requirements, professional alcohol testing equipment, selected emergency readiness products and multi vendor healthcare sourcing. DOSH continues to list dedicated Malaysian workplace guidance covering first aid as well as drug and alcohol issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For industrial and operational workplaces, Novum can also coordinate selected\u00a0Dr\u00e4ger safety solutions through established Malaysian supply channels, including\u00a0portable and personal gas detection, area monitoring, respiratory protection and emergency escape equipment, with rental and service pathways considered where appropriate.<\/p>\n
Dr\u00e4ger Malaysia publicly supports local sales and technical support as well as portable and fixed gas detection, respiratory protection, rental, calibration, maintenance, installation, commissioning, project management, consultancy and system engineering capabilities. Fixed gas engineering and other specialist technical work remain with Dr\u00e4ger or the responsible qualified technical provider.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A\u00a0Novum Corporate Health spokesperson\u00a0said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe challenge is rarely finding a provider. It is understanding the requirement, getting the right clinical, technical or supply party involved, and keeping the hand offs clear. Novum was built to give organisations that structure without blurring professional responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Novum does not position itself as a clinic, laboratory, occupational-health authority, statutory safety certifier or engineering provider. Its role is\u00a0programme design, sourcing, coordination and implementation support, while regulated responsibilities remain with the appropriately licensed, registered, qualified or authorised party.<\/p>\n
The framework is initially focused on Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, with wider Malaysian requirements considered according to partner coverage, supplier capability and project scope.<\/p>\n
Organisations reviewing\u00a0workplace health programmes, first aid readiness, healthcare sourcing, gas detection, respiratory or escape requirements, professional alcohol testing equipment or multi supplier projects\u00a0can start with one defined requirement at\u00a0www.novumhealthmy.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
