MUKAH, July 18 — More than 200 doctors offered contract positions to serve in Sarawak have either turned down the offer or failed to report to work, Deputy Health Minister Lukanisman Awang Sauni revealed.

“I am asking the more than 200 doctors who have been offered contract positions to accept the offer or report for duty to their assigned work stations in Sarawak,” he told a press conference after a working visit to Mukah Hospital today. In line with the Malaysia Agreement 1963, he said Sarawak has its own ‘health wish list’ — among them is for nine districts in the state to be equipped with Type 3 health clinics.

On his working visit to Mukah Hospital, Lukanisman said the hospital faces several issues, including sub-par staff living quarters, shortage of medical officers, and a general lack of facilities.
