Diabetes is the third highest cause of death in Brunei after cancer and heart disease.[1] The rate of suicide has not been investigated, according to Dr Hilda Ho, as a taboo subject.[2]

Obesity

7.5% of the population are obese, the highest prevalence rate in ASEAN.[3][4] Also, studies by the Ministry of Health show that at least 20% of schoolchildren in Brunei are either overweight or obese.[5]

Healthcare

There are four government-run hospitals in Brunei, one for every district. There are also 16 health centres and 10 health clinics.[6]

Healthcare in Brunei is charged at B$1 per consultation for citizens[7] and is free for anyone under 12 years old.[7] A health centre run by Brunei Shell Petroleum is located in Panaga. For medical assistance not available in the country, citizens are sent overseas at the government's expense.[8] In the period of 2011–12, 327 patients were treated in Malaysia and Singapore at the cost to the government of $12 million.[9]

Brunei has 2.8 hospital beds per 1000 people.[10] The prevalence of HIV/AIDS is currently at 0.1%,[10] and numerous AIDS awareness campaigns are currently being held.[11]

The largest hospital in Brunei is Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha Hospital (RIPAS) hospital, which had 550 beds in year 1992,[12] is situated in the country's capital Bandar Seri Begawan. There are two private medical centres, Gleneagles JPMC Sdn Bhd .[13] and Jerudong Park Medical Centre. The Health Promotion Centre opened in November 2008 and serves to educate the public on the importance of having a healthy lifestyle.[14]

There is currently no medical school in Brunei, and Bruneians wishing to study to become doctors must attend university overseas. However, the Institute of Medicines had been introduced at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam and a new building has been built for the faculty. The building, including research lab facilities, was completed in 2009. There has been a School of Nursing since 1951.[15] Fifty-eight nurse managers were appointed in RIPAS to improve service and provide better medical care.[16] In December 2008, The nursing college merged with the Institute of Medicines at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam to produce more nurses and midwives.[17] It is now called the PAPRSB (Pengiran Anak Puteri Rashidah Sa'datul Bolkiah) Institute of Health Sciences.[18]
