GEORGE TOWN: Doctors are calling for an independent task force to ensure there is no bullying and abuse of housemen, and urged the authorities to take a step back and look at the conditions of the healthcare system.

Offering insights into ways to bring change to housemanship programmes, they raised issues such as the lack of management skills, junior doctors need to be taught how to manage their stress, while superiors need to know how to manage and care for junior doctors.
