Star: PUTRAJAYA: The number of jobless nursing graduates has reached such a state that Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai has ticked off private institutions of higher learning for not being in touch with market demand.
The institutions, he said, were the cause of the surplus as they have not delivered on the areas of expertise needed and thus created a mismatch between training and market needs.
Most of the private nursing colleges are offering mere “general training”, which did not cater to the private sector's requirement for specialised nurses, he said.
Among the measures to rectify the problem:
> The Government to work on creating vacancies at public hospitals.
>The Malaysian Society for Healthcare Delivery wants a system to monitor the quality of nursing graduates.
