  • RTW DIGIMOS Symposium 2021 targets participation from various levels and professional backgrounds from various countries in the Southeast Asia. Therefore, the agenda to be focused on at this symposium is also to draft a strategic resolution agreed by diverse disciplines from Southeast Asia countries in Integrating Disability Management Plans to a new dimension.

Conference Chair

Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohammed Azman is the Chief Executive Officer of the Social Security Organisation (SOCSO. The first medical doctor employed by SOCSO, Dato' Sri Dr. Mohammed Azman has instituted various changes and innovations to enhance SOCSO’s commitment in occupational safety and health, disability management, prevention and employee health promotion. He has introduced the Occupational Health Training for General Physicians, Disability Assessments and the first Occupational Disease Guideline in Malaysia. His brainchild, the Return To Work Programme (RTW) is now one of SOCSO’s flagship programmes. Thousands of workers have been rehabilitated and returned to gainful employment under the RTW programme, which receives international accolades and recognised as the global best practice.
Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohammed Azman is directly involved in the establishment of SOCSO’s Rehabilitation Centre in Melaka in 2014. A strong believer in dynamic social security, Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohammed Azman initiated SOCSO’s Commuting Accident Prevention approach through smart partnership with other agencies and NGOs in 2010. He pioneered the SOCSO Health Screening Programme (HSP) in 2013 as an effort to enhance awareness and prevent lifestyle diseases among Malaysian workers. The HSP has enabled hundreds of thousands of workers to undergo proper health screening, where more than half of them did not know about their health status prior to this programme.
Under his leadership, SOCSO receives various international and local recognitions including from ASEAN Social Security Association and International Social Security Association.
