Doctors’ strike will lead to long waits, group warns

PETALING JAYA: After the threat of a nationwide strike, the Mogok Doktor Malaysia (Malaysian Doctors on Strike) group has now cautioned people not to go to health clinics and public hospitals on April 3-5, as the waiting times are expected to be longer while the strike is underway.

Previously, the movement of doctors attached to the Health Ministry had urged contract medical officers to take emergency or medical leave on the dates proposed as a sign of protest.
