PETALING JAYA: The Government's commitment to resolve issues faced by contract doctors within three years is welcomed but there milestones should be defined towards achieving this, says the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA).
Three years to resolve issues of contract doctors welcomed but govt should set milestones to achieving it
However, the Government should set a timeline with milestones to achieve it for affected doctors. It will take some convincing for the contract doctors to believe that a breakthrough is possible for them to obtain permanent posts. Apart from the lack of permanent posts, there are many other issues that are causing frustration among the public health care workforce which the government should focus on resolving now. Some of the issues do not even require financial commitment to resolve such as ensuring more reasonable working hours for a work life balance, transparency in the selection criteria for permanent posts, and ensuring a proper career pathway.
We understand that securing permanent positions will require a significant, long term financial commitment from the government but for now, the government can go ahead with the more easily attainable measures.
