PUTRAJAYA: More contract doctors need to be absorbed into permanent positions as the number assured by the government is insufficient, especially with more contract doctors to be employed every year, says Hartal Doktor Kontrak group.

Its spokesman Dr Muhammad Yassin said this was why the group is pushing for the setting up of the Health Services Commission, to better manage human resources in the country’s healthcare system.

Dr Muhammad was asked about the 12,800 contract doctors which are expected to be absorbed into permanent positions within the next three years. The Prime Minister said that this meant that for 2023, a total of RM1.7bil was allocated for recruiting more contract doctors and to absorb existing ones to permanent positions.

In the memorandum, Hartal Doktor Kontrak has, among others, requested to be included in the high-level committee set up by the ministry to look into issues concerning contract doctors.
