BATU PAHAT: More hospitals will be designated for medical graduates to do their housemanship to ensure that new doctors can practise when they have completed the compulsory one-year stint. 

Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek said the move would help to solve the problem of shortage of doctors, especially in “busy” hospitals, adding that housemen could help out in providing treatment to patients.
