PETALING JAYA: A one-stop centre to streamline the hiring process for foreign nurses is necessary as a stop-gap measure in addressing the critical shortage of nursing staff, says the Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia (APHM).
With the implementation of a 45-hour workweek for nurses in public hospitals set to begin on Dec 1, APHM president Datuk Dr Kuljit Singh emphasised that the core issue is the insufficient number of nurses in the country.
