PETALING JAYA: The Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia (APHM) welcomes the health ministry’s decision to exempt foreign nurses from having to obtain a post-basic qualification to work in Malaysia.
APHM president Dr Kuljit Singh said the association had received a letter from the Registrar of the Nursing Board, stating that the exemption will be effective from Oct 1, 2023 to Sept 3, 2024, with the possibility of extensions pending re-application and approvals.“This will instantly alleviate the strain on private hospitals due to the ongoing congestion and it will also allow private hospitals to create more beds,” he said in a statement.
