: Medical associations have welcomed Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s commitment to resolve in three years the long-standing issues affecting contract doctors.

“Apart from the lack of permanent posts, there are many other issues that are causing frustration among the public health care workforce which the government should focus on resolving now as some of the issues do not even require financial commitment to resolve,” he said in a statement today. Dr Muruga said MMA was concerned that more resignations could happen in the meantime as some contract doctors might not be willing to wait another three years.

Meanwhile, Public Health Organisation Malaysia advisor Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar, when contacted by Bernama, said the government assurance to resolve the contract doctor issues had given hope to the doctors involved and their families.
