MMA proposes 10-year contract extension proposal for medical officers

PETALING JAYA: While applauding the government's decision to extend the contract for medical officers by six months, the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) said a long-term solution is needed rather than a piecemeal effort.

"The MMA would like to once again urge the government to look into the proposal for a 10-year extended contract for all doctors, which many associations including MMA's Section Concerning House Officers, Medical Officers and Specialists (SCHOMOS), have been suggesting," said MMA president Prof Dr Subramaniam Muniandy.
