PUTRAJAYA: The Health Ministry aims to increase the number of male nurses in response to the evolving needs of the nursing sector and the availability of modern medical technology and equipment.
"The MOH Nursing Division seeks to raise the participation of male nurses from four to 10 per cent, although no specific time frame has been set for achieving this goal. "The ongoing modernisation and the increasing use of medical devices in MOH facilities highlight the critical role of male nurses,” he said after officiating the 27th Joint Malaysia-Singapore Nursing Conference here Thursday ."There is still a societal perception that portrays nursing as a female-only domain. However, in developed and neighbouring countries, the demand for male nurses is evident and substantial.
When asked about plans for special recruitment of male nurses, Lukanisman clarified that no specific initiatives have been established. Instead, MOH is intensifying efforts to encourage men to consider nursing careers.
