End contract inequities: No double standards in healthcare employment policy


THE Malaysian Pharmacists Society president Amrahi Buang has recently raised concerns over an alleged double standard in the Health Ministry’s contract policy, leaving pharmacists feeling disadvantaged, with some expressing that the contract system itself has become a basis for unequal treatment.

The core issue lies in the overreliance on short term contracts and the limited availability of permanent posts, leaving many to feel disadvantaged. This is a matter that requires urgent attention, as there should be no double standards when it comes to healthcare professionals.
