Short breaks for private clinic docs
DOCTORS at 24-hour private clinics should not have breaks that are longer than 30 minutes, said Malaysian Medical Association president Datuk Dr N. Arumugam
According to Sin Chew Daily, the association's code of ethics stated that private clinics should not accept patients if the doctors are not around.
Dr Arumugam also said the nurses should inform the patients if there are no doctors at the premises.
He was speaking at the launch of the association's homepage in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday.
Internal Security Ministry parliamentary secretary Datuk Abu Seman Yusop said private hospitals should not collect payments from patients who needed blood.
He said it was irresponsible of the private hospitals to collect such payments as they are getting their blood supply from government hospitals, adding that he would raise the matter with the Health Ministry.
