Specialists issue solution in sight


THE Academy of Medicine Malaysia (AMM) welcomes the recent submission of a joint Cabinet memorandum concerning proposed amendments to the Medical Act 1971 by Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad and Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir. We reiterate our deepest gratitude for the commendable efforts made and offer our support.

AMM has long advocated for solutions to the issues faced by qualified medical doctors who want to be registered as specialists in the National Specialist Register (NSR). The proposed amendments are a pivotal step towards resolving these long- standing issues and ensuring a streamlined recognition and registration process.
