This week on ASEAN MedTech Insights, we delve into the critical challenges emerging from Malaysia's new digital medical device registration portal, MedC@st 2.0+.

We explore the specific pain points, from the lack of automated data migration for legacy devices to the stringent new documentation requirements.
