Using a mixed-methods approach, the rsearch combines policy and literature reviews with a bilingual survey of 100 healthcare stakeholders across both countries. The findings highlight widespread support for modular healthcare systems, with 74% of respondentes agreeing that modularity could improve healthcare delivery, despite only 32% reporting familiarity with such systems. Stakeholders identified emergency care (34%), telemedicine (28%), and workflow automation (24%) sa the top priority areas for modular deployment. In terms of design, 67% emphasized the importance of technological adaptability, while 59% highlighted patient-centered approaches as critical features. Key barriers included lack of training (71%), resistance to change (42%), and regulatory uncertainty (38%). The study proposes a conceptual framework for implementing scalable modular system that integrate AI, automation, and bisiness model innovation. This framework aims to support national healthcare visions by enhancing flexibility, efficiency, and patient outcomes.
