KUCHING, April 16 — The Malaysian Medics International has urged the Public Service Department to clarify its recent decision to discontinue sponsoring students in local universities intending to pursue medical-related programmes.
“In the long run, this may compromise the quality of healthcare professionals as potential candidates might be deterred due to personal financial constraints. It was endorsed by the Malaysian Pharmacy Students’ Association, Malaysian Dental Students’ Association, Asian Medical Students’ Association Malaysia, UM Medical Society, Military Medicine National Defence University of Malaysia and Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia Student Association.
“The shortage of healthcare professionals, particularly specialists, in our country remains a pressing issue that has yet to be adequately addressed,” it said. Given this, MMI feared that a reduction of qualified and skilled healthcare professionals in the future can be anticipated with the cease of scholarship.
