Address manpower shortage first, say doctors


PETALING JAYA: A shortage of public healthcare workers will hamper the implementation of the Waktu Bekerja Berlainan (WBB) pilot shift system despite a reduction in working hours, says the medical fraternity.

They say the income of public healthcare medical officers will also be affected, as the increased on-call allowance is only eligible for those working on-call shifts during weekends and public holidays.
