KUCHING, March 14 — The move by the Health Ministry to extend operating hours at 52 government clinics can help reduce congestion at public healthcare facilities, but will require sufficient manpower to ensure its success, says the Malaysian Medical Association .
“MMA welcomes the move to extend the operating hours at 52 selected government health clinics as it may be necessary as an immediate and interim solution to ease the current congestion seen at government healthcare facilities. He was responding to Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa’s call for private GPs and contract doctors to participate in the initiative to extend operating hours at public health clinics as a way to help the ministry reduce the workload among health workers and provide the best service to patients.
“MMA had for many years proposed involving private GPs as a necessary step to strengthening primary care in the country. The private GPs play a key role in the healthcare management of the population and should be included in government healthcare policies,” he said.
