Private healthcare experts: Give doctors the chance to advance

GEORGE TOWN: If the government were to allow private hospitals to sponsor doctors to be trained as specialists in medical schools and later be bonded to practise in Malaysia’s private healthcare, the country’s medical brain drain may be stemmed.

Penang Adventist Hospital (PAH) chief executive officer Ronald Koh said it would help save the country from losing bright doctors to overseas healthcare centres, public or private.
