KUALA LUMPUR, March 31 — The organisers of the campaign have advised the public not to visit public hospitals and health clinics for routine treatments from April 3 to 5 because they may be in for a long wait.

The dissatisfaction among medical workers, especially contract doctors, hit a new high when a letter went viral showing that the Public Service Department had refused to consider the payment rate for the ‘on call’ system of 50 per cent. Meanwhile, Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said that the strike by the contact doctors is not the best solution and could affect the national health service.

Meanwhile, Malaysian Medical Association president Dr Muruga Raj Rajathurai said the association does not support the strike as a way to get the government to address the issue faced by contract doctors.
