Ensure sufficient manpower when extending operating hours at govt health clinics, says MMA

PETALING JAYA: While the extension of operating hours at 52 selected government health clinics is a necessary interim solution to ease the congestion at public healthcare facilities, it is important to ensure that there is sufficient manpower at these facilities, says the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA).

“MMA welcomes the move to extend the operating hours at 52 selected government health clinics as it may be necessary as an immediate and interim solution to ease the current congestion seen at government healthcare facilities,” said MMA president Dr Muruga Raj Rajathurai.
