Doctors’ long wait for licence

I HAVE been a general practitioner (GP) for several years. I am writing this letter in the hope that a solution would be found soon for doctors who are facing the same problem as myself.

This concerns our annual practising certificate (APC), which all doctors must have to continue practising. We apply and pay for this through the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC). In past years, this process was relatively smooth although sometimes a bit slow.
