PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Pharmaceutical Society (MPS) has appealed to Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to extend the contracts of about 3,500 government pharmacists who may potentially lose their jobs from April to December.
MPS president Amrahi Buang said the pharmacists concerned were currently with the Health Ministry, university hospitals, and the Armed Forces' pharmacy division.
“Performing medical supply, counselling and review anywhere from wards to the pharmacy, pharmacists serve as key anchors to the full suite of pharmaceutical services offered by the Health Ministry, with the ultimate objective of ensuring efficiency and accuracy,” he added. “These pharmacists are also eager to serve and will most certainly hit the ground running – without the need to acclimatise themselves to the inner workings of the Health Ministry.”
“Considering all factors stated above and the extraordinary circumstances we are in, we plead with the Prime Minister to intervene for the sake of the country’s healthcare needs.
