PETALING JAYA: While welcoming the government’s will to resolve the parallel pathway issue, groups say urgent amendments were needed to the Medical Act when Parliament sits later this month.
Citing the critical shortage of specialists in the country, the Malaysian Association for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (MATCVS) honorary secretary Prof Dr John Chan Kok Meng said graduates from the parallel pathway training are ready to work as specialists in public hospitals.
