PETALING JAYA: A few years ago, there was a glut in medical graduates. But today, the public healthcare system is grappling with a shortage of doctors, especially housemen.
KUALA LUMPUR: The government has agreed to extend special medical duty leave and critical illness leave facilities to medical, dental and pharmacy officers on contract.
PETALING JAYA: A move to let private hospitals train their own specialists could benefit hundreds of medical officers who are still waiting for contracts or permanent jobs, says the Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia (APHM).
