PETALING JAYA: It is high time for Malaysia to focus on increasing the number of medical specialists to meet national needs through a unified and structured competency-based training programme, says the Academy of Medicine of Malaysia (AMM).
It said while the joint efforts of the Health and Higher Education ministries on the matter should be applauded, the current impasse affecting some specialists who were denied inclusion in the National Specialist Register (NSR) must be resolved first.
