“The MoH Nursing Division seeks to raise the participation of male nurses from four to 10 per cent, although no specific time frame has been set for achieving this goal.“The nursing profession in Malaysia is predominantly female. The underrepresentation of male nurses may be due to a lack of awareness about the wide range of career opportunities available in the nursing sector.
