Abstract
The roles of the Non-Governmental Organization (NGOs) are gaining more attention from academicians around the world. This article specifically examines the role of non-governmental organizations in health care issues in Malaya/Malaysia in three main stages. The first stage covers the pre-independence period; the second stage involves the period 1957-1980 and the third 1981-2015. Each stage is different from the other in terms of actions and approaches of NGOs in dealing with the government. During the pre-independence period, NGOs were established with the influence of British government and to serve the interest of their elite groups. During the period of post independence until 1980, NGOs were involved in a process of consolidation. The period 1981-2015 saw those heavily influencing and articulating policy issues. In assessing the history, development and roles played by the NGOs, this article has mainly used a qualitative approach based on secondary data.
