IN the early 1990s, the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) and the Health Ministry (MOH), under the able leadership of director- general Tan Sri Abu Bakar Suleiman, initiated many activities to set standards and develop procedures for accrediting programmes in medicine, nursing, dentistry and pharmacy.

This was way before the Education Ministry established the National Accreditation Board to assure the quality of programmes offered by private sector institutions in 1996.
