KUALA LUMPUR, May 7 — Doctors and industry groups have urged the Health Ministry to review its policies on medical graduates and staff retention, after official data showed a sharp drop in housemen numbers since 2019 that could jeopardise care levels at public hospitals.

Similarly, the provisional registration of medical graduates with the Malaysian Medical Council has also seen a significant decrease. In 2017, there were 6,147 medical graduates with provisional registration, but this was down to nearly half in 2022, with just 3,131. “We urge for transparency from the MoH on sharing its data on the numbers of healthcare workers by category towards more effective planning of the healthcare workforce. This information should be shared with the public on a dashboard. Currently, no one, except the government, knows what the numbers are,” she was quoted saying.
