Health sector needs injection of funds, reforms, says ex-minister

Dr Subramaniam says the proliferation of private medical education and public medical schools has led to an increase in the number of medical graduates.

Subramaniam said the government should ensure that contract doctors are given the same perks, allowances and opportunities as their permanent peers, adding that there should not be any discrimination between two groups of doctors who are doing the same type of work. Speaking on the thousands of doctors graduating every year, Subramaniam said it boils down to supply and demand.

Subramaniam said it is the right of all doctors to pursue postgraduate specialisation and they must be given the opportunity to achieve it because doctors who are not holding permanent positions will not be able to become specialists. “I have been told that some doctors who had passed the first part in the postgraduate examinations were denied a permanent post. This is deplorable.”

He- MIC n Indian. In a Malay supremacist Govt (past n present) it’s hard for Malays to “hear”non-Malays. Began wth Dr M. The civil service culture -don’t see/hear nonMalayMuslims is deeply ingrained. Watch carefully the dynamics in a room of Malay authority figures n minorities.

I agree. Build more hospitals and employ more doctors. Hospitals these days are TOO congested ....

So now you're telling but during your tenure, you are yes man for political survival

Unfortunately, UMNO and PN supporters are convinced we have one of the best healthcare system in the world. This has made it difficult to convince enough voters to pressure government for reform.

🙄

Not even than. Spending on increasing our medical facilities n staff during the various MCOs would have helped us now.
