KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Medical Association’s (MMA) recent survey on manpower situation at public healthcare facilities does not accurately represent the actual staffing requirements, says the Health Ministry (MOH).
“MOH takes note of the survey by MMA involving 117 respondents from government healthcare facilities. Based on this survey, the MMA concluded that 95% of government facilities are facing manpower shortages,” Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said in a parliamentary written reply dated July 1.
