Medics president hails move to extend freeze

PETALING JAYA: The extension of the freeze on new medical courses in all local institutions is a good move, especially with the limited number of housemanship posts.

Malaysian Medics International president S. S. Vikkineshwaran said the extension was much needed because the country was approaching a surplus of medical graduates and at the same time, the Government was not putting in additional housemanship or medical officer posts.
