Abstract
Our visit began in Brunei, officially known as Brunei Darussalam, located on the north coast of Borneo, in south-east Asia. With a population of only 400,000 and as the third-largest oil producer in south-east Asia and the fourth-largest producer of natural gas, Brunei has the fourth-highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. With no income tax, free education, free healthcare and petrol cheaper than bottled water, Bruneians have an enviable quality of life. Under the governance of the Ministry of Health (MoH), each state has its own government hospital and rural areas are served by the Flying Medical Services division. Impressively, if a treatment is not available locally, for example organ transplantation, the MoH arranges treatment at overseas centres, often in nearby Singapore or Malaysia.
