: The Malaysian Medical Association today urged the Ministry of Health to conduct a more detailed study on the new shift system at all government clinics before implementing such a move.said the ministry must first address staffing and infrastructure issues without compromising healthcare welfare, as well as carry out more stakeholder engagement.
“The shift system will only work provided the government addresses the staffing issues and necessary infrastructural support. Under the new two-shift system, there will be fewer healthcare workers working per shift due to the shortages,“ he said in a statement today. “The two shifts for staff are from 8am to 5pm and 12.30pm to 9.30pm. MOH staff were notified of the shift system only recently,“ he said.
Ganabaskaran said the shortage of doctors in government clinics will also affect the Family Doctor Concept in care where doctors provide care for patients and their families from “womb to tomb”.
