PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah says he hopes a special task force can be formed to look into the grouses of contract doctors.

The Health director-general said the task force could be led by the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) and the Health Ministry, to look into possible amendments to the Pension Act to enable permanent posts – and Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributions – for contract doctors, hopefully within two years.
