MMA advises junior contract doctors to take up govt’s offer while awaiting better solution to prolonged career woes | Malay Mail

KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 — The Malaysian Medical Association has advised junior contract doctors to take up the government’s recent offer to extend their contracts as a short-term measure, while a permanent solution is drafted.

“For an immediate solution, we suggested that all contract doctors be given the right to apply for fully paid study leave and to be able to receive the Federal Scholarship to pursue specialist training. “We have also supported the continued moratorium on the formation of new medical schools, as well as controlling the intakes of all private medical colleges in the country,” he was reported saying byDr Subramaniam said that the temporary walkout on Monday by junior contract doctors nationwide, was mainly caused by the problem of unequal wages between contract and permanent medical officers.

“Despite the recent announcement by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to extend their contracts and equalise the perks, the contract doctors have lost faith in the government’s efforts and are requesting for the immediate absorption as permanent staff of the civil service.
