Putrajaya Hospital refutes shortage of doctors allegation

Malay Mail Online: "The Putrajaya Hospital may be among the best in the country but it suffers from a shortage of doctors.
This claim comes from A. Manickam, the brother of a road accident victim, who said the doctor shortage had prompted him to take his brother, Dermalingam @ Tharmalingam, out of the hospital.
Dermalingam is now warded at Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM).
'They were slow in treating him. So I got him discharged and sent to the HUKM,' he said.
Manickam said the accident left his brother with broken legs and internal injuries.
'After three days, one of the doctors said there were not enough doctors at the hospital to treat my brother.
'He had to wait before he could undergo surgery for internal injuries. I moved him to HUKM as I feared for his life,' said Manickam.
However, Putrajaya Hospital deputy director Dr Eng Thiew Kim denied that the hospital did not have enough doctors or was indifferent to his brother’s condition.
'We have more than 100 doctors here,' said Eng.
She said Manickam’s brother was being treated and was not neglected.
'We are trying to give the best services to our patients. But we do give priority to serious cases,' said Eng."
