Sun2surfPUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi says the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) cannot continue to claim ignorance whenever doctors are accused of conducting illegal abortions.
"MMA must monitor the conduct of doctors in the country so that they do not act outside the law. They must adhere to ethics outlined for them and if they breach them, appropiate action should be taken.
"I want the MMA to look into allegations against doctors seriously," said Abdullah in a media briefing after his Internal Security Ministry's monthly assembly on Feb 7, 2006.
He was asked to comment on reports that several doctors in the country allegedly conducted illegal abortions but when informed, the MMA would claim they were unaware.
On Malaysians still having problems obtaining financial aid from the government's critical illness fund, the Prime Minister said he still did not understand why Malaysians kept on saying it is difficult to obtain aid.
"If the rakyat don't want to follow procedures when wanting financial aid, then it will be difficult to obtain assistance when making applications. There is no law that can satisfy everyone," he added.
