Doctors on strike
Government contract doctors will go on a one-day strike today amid intimidation by those in charge at public hospitals.
Putrajaya made some last-minute concessions by promising up to four years of contract extension but the doctors see it as a ploy to stop the strike. They want permanent placements, not more contract extensions.
Under the current system, contract doctors face joblessness after the end of their five-year training because the government does not have the budgetary means to offer them permanent positions.
Cognisant of the Covid-19 pandemic, protest organisers have asked participants to ensure that permanent doctors will cover their shift during the strike while those in critical services are to return to their posts if needed.

“The PPN is dynamic. If cases have decreased and they are only mild symptomatic cases, the number of new cases is no longer an appropriate threshold value, we will look at the case capacity in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and the mortality rate.
