PUTRAJAYA, Nov 9 — The Ministry of Health can no longer fully absorb graduate medical officers, including those sponsored by the government, to permanent appointments because it is subject the availability of posts at health facilities, said its Minister Datuk Seri Dzulkefly Ahmad. Graduate medical officers who had completed graduate training, had full registration certificates and completed the mandatory service but not absorbed into public service had the chance to serve in other public sector agencies such as university hospitals and the private sector which needed proficiency in the field of health, he said.
The maximum period for a contract appointment would be five years, namely, three years for graduate training and two years for mandatory service.
