JOHOR BARU: Public healthcare workers in Johor are under severe strain, with nurses reportedly caring for over 10 patients per shift – far exceeding the ideal nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:6, says Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.
He said serious manpower shortages, particularly in major hospitals in Johor Baru, are placing immense pressure on the state’s healthcare system.
