More healthcare personnel must be trained, said the Academy of Medicine of Malaysia


PETALING JAYA: More healthcare personnel must be trained to address the lack of specialists in the country, says the Academy of Medicine of Malaysia (AMM).

The AMM said the current population-to-specialist ratio in Malaysia stood at 10,000:3.88, which was alarming, as the average population-to-specialist ratio by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) stood at 10,000:14.33 in 2020.
