Health minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa says this is an initial step to meet the population’s mental health needs.
In 2020, the health ministry expanded its counselling services at the primary healthcare level by deploying 200 new counsellors nationwide.
In a written parliamentary reply, Zaliha said this was done as an initial step to meet the population’s mental health needs. She said the ministry had taken several other measures to increase the number of psychiatrists in the country such as reappointing retired psychiatrists on contract basis to serve with the ministry based on service requirements and critical areas.
