Two-year extension for contract doctors will allow Health Ministry to look at other ways to reward them, says sec-gen

PETALING JAYA: The offer to allow contract medical officers to extend their term for another two years upon completion of mandatory service will allow the Health Ministry some time to come up with better employment terms and benefits for them.

Health secretary-general Datuk Mohd Shafiq Abdullah said the ministry was thankful to Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who agreed that all medical officers would be offered the deal.
