Contract doctors absorbed into permanent positions insufficient as many more enter payroll, says Hartal Doktor Kontrak

PUTRAJAYA: More contract doctors need to be absorbed into permanent positions as the number assured by the government is insufficient, especially with more contract doctors to be employed every year, says Hartal Doktor Kontrak group.

Its spokesman Dr Muhammad Yassin said this was why the group is pushing for the setting up of the Health Services Commission, to better manage human resources in the country’s healthcare system.
