Just make it a level playing field for contract medical officers


WHILE we are in the midst of battling the current spike of Covid-19 cases in the country, issues pertaining to our frontliners, especially the so-called contract medical officers (CMO) are being hotly debated in this space.

As a specialist who has been in the civil service for almost 20 years, I’m grateful that I managed to pursue a master's programme under Hadiah Latihan Persekutuan (HLP) after my housemanship and a couple of years as a medical officer (MO) in the anaesthetic department. It was quite a seamless transition back then.
