MALAYSIAN Medics International would like to extend our gratitude to the Health Ministry for pledging to improve the contract system for healthcare professionals, as indicated by minister Khairy Jamaluddin at the last meeting of Parliament.
The current plans in motion as we understand them are: a) Applications for sponsorship equivalent to the existing federal scholarship; b) applications to create additional permanent posts according to the needs of facilities; c) strategies to increase employment opportunities; d) looking into the provisions of the Medical Act 1971, the Dental Act 1971, and the Registration of Pharmacists Act 1950 as well as a more flexible implementation mechanism for specialty studies; e) looking into the suitability of amending the Pensions Act 1980 or introducing equivalent improvements.
