Bid to list medical institutions
THE Federation of Chinese Physicians and Acupuncturists Associations of Malaysia hopes to register Chinese medical schools and practitioners from next month so that they will be recognised by the Government.
China Press quoted Federation president Ng Seow Hooi as saying the aim was also to find out the number of Chinese medical schools that would register with the Government.
He said that eight schools were registered with the associations, of which four were in Kuala Lumpur, three in Johor and one in Malacca.
Ng said the federation would sign a memorandum of understanding with the Chinese medical schools if they agreed with the federation’s policy.
This would ensure that graduates from the schools would be registered as traditional physicians with the Health Ministry, he added.
He said that more than 1,000 Chinese physicians in the country were not registered although many practised under various business registrations.
