MMA against service ruling for private hospital doctors
THE Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) today came out strongly against the move by the Health Ministry to make it compulsory for doctors in private hospitals to serve a certain number of hours a week in government hospitals, if they want their Annual Practising Certificate renewed.
Its president Datuk Dr N Arumugam said this arrangement of part-time work in government hospitals should be on voluntary basis with appropriate remuneration and it should not be mandatory or linked to the renewal of APC.
He said the ministry’s idea of making private doctors work in government facilities to ease staff shortages must be studied carefully before implementation.
