Dato’ Dr. Norhizan bin Ismail

Dato’ Dr. Norhizan Bin Ismail joined our Board on 17 September 2021 as an Independent Non-Executive Director.

He earned his Medical Doctor degree from Universiti Sains Malaysia in August 1986, followed by a Master of Public Health from Universiti Malaya in 1996. In 2002, he was designated as a public health physician in recognition of his extensive contributions to public health. Further strengthening his expertise, he completed a two-year Epidemic Intelligence Programme with the MOH Malaysia from 2004 to 2006.

In 2011, he was recognised as a public health specialist by MOH Malaysia and the Academy of Medicine of Malaysia, and subsequently listed in the National Specialist Register. He was later admitted as a fellow of Public Health Medicine Malaysia by the Council of the Malaysian Public Health Physicians’ Association on 16 July 2018.

Over his nearly 35-year career with MOH Malaysia, he held key positions across all levels of healthcare services, including hospitals, district health offices, and state health departments. He served as state health director of both Pahang and Kedah, where his contributions were recognised with Datukship titles from both states. He went on to hold senior leadership roles, including Director of the Medical Development Division and, ultimately, Deputy Director General of Health (Medical) before his retirement on 17 August 2021.

He does not have any family relationships with any Director and/or major shareholder of the Company, and does not hold any directorship in other public companies or listed issuers.
