KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 — Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has given his assurance that the ministry will offer its best solution for contract doctors within his first 100 days as minister, following a peaceful walkout in July.
“There are few details that I don’t want to announce yet because we are still in the midst of discussions with the Treasury and JPA, but I hope we will find a good solution to this within the next 100 days,” he said. The move was organised by the group of contract doctors calling itself #HartalDoctorKontrak, which has since vowed a bigger “hartal” or strike should they continue to be sidelined and not given permanent posts.
Aside from the reduced pay and benefits even though they work the same hours, the contract doctors are also faced with an inability to further their specialisation as master’s programmes in public universities are reportedly only granted to permanent civil servants.
