KUCHING, April 2 — Malaysian Medical Association expects more resignations of contract doctors as some may not be willing to wait another three years, which was the timeframe given by the Prime Minister to resolve contract doctor issues.
He said that apart from the lack of permanent posts, there are many other issues that are causing frustration among the public health care workforce which the government should focus on resolving now. “MMA wishes to thank the Prime Minister for his stated commitment to resolving the issues of contract doctors in three years. However, the government should set a timeline with milestones to achieving it for the affected doctors. It will take some convincing for the contract doctors to believe that a breakthrough is possible for them to obtain permanent posts.”He said that all the issues along with solutions have been brought up during their townhall session with the health minister.
He pointed out that MMA had in fact written to the Prime Minister’s office to meet with him and brief him first hand on the issues but was referred to the health minister.
