MMA president Prof Datuk Dr Subramaniam Muniandy.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has thanked the government for offering contract doctors a two-year contract extension but urged for a long-term solution to their plight.

MMA president Datuk Dr Subramaniam Muniandy said that while the offer for contract doctors to get a two-year contract extension is welcomed as a short-term measure, it is not a solution to the problem.
