Obstetricians are quitting


PETALING JAYA: Senior obstetricians in private practice in the country are opting out of delivering babies as a result of changes in their professional indemnity coverage.

The shortfall of these specialists is expected to create a rise in the workload in government hospitals, increasing the possibility of sub-standards or delays in maternity care.
