Safeguard Quality Of Medical Grads, Gerakan Urges Government.

Posted on May 20, 2010 by taqidoc| Comments Off

KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 (Bernama) — To safeguard the quality of medical graduates, the government should review the issuance of new licences to set up private medical schools.

In making this call, Gerakan vice-president Datuk Dr Teng Hock Nan lamented the existence of too many private medical schools in the country.

“The sudden increase in medical schools may result in fierce competitions to enroll students…and (thus) there is a danger that some of the schools may lower their admission requirement.

“We urge the government to stop issuing new licences for medical schools until such time, we are assured of training facilities and the necessary infrastructures.

“The government needs to ensure a high standard of doctors produced and seek ways to alleviate the problem of too many house officers being posted in some of our hospitals,” he told a press conference Thursday.

Dr Teng noted that to produce good quality medical graduates, the government should ensure that the entry requirements of students met the required standard.

He said the sudden mushrooming of medical schools could also mean that there was inevitably, a shortage of qualified and experienced medical teachers.

“There is also a shortage of hospitals big enough for these medical students to receive proper training and teaching.

“In most advanced countries, setting up medical schools required many years of planning to source for qualified and experienced medical teachers,” he added.

Gerakan will be carrying out a survey and gather feedback from the public and experts in the field before sending a memorandum to the higher education ministry, said Dr Teng.

Compulsory service for docs cut to two years with immediate effect.

KUALA KUBU BARU: The compulsory service period for medical practitioners has been reduced from three years to two years with immediate effect, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.

He said this was in accordance with the longer internship training from one year to two years.

“The move to shorten the compulsory service would encourage doctors to remain in the country,” he said, adding that it would indirectly discourage a brain drain.

Liow also announced that Malay­sian doctors working overseas and who had pursued their studies abroad at their own expense were exempted from compulsory service.

“However, they must have documented clinical experience of more than 10 years,” he said at the launch of a healthy lifestyle campaign here yesterday.

Previously, Liow had announced that doctors above 45 years would get total exemption.

For those below 45 years, exemption will be given if they possess a rare sub-specialty as determined by a committee on exemption of compulsory service or if they had served in public or private universities or military hospitals for a continuous period of two years.

Liow also announced that an additional building would be built at the Kuala Kubu Baru Hospital dialysis unit.

“We will also add four more dialysis machines for kidney patients here,” he said.

He said there were currently four dialysis machines servicing 18 patients while 17 others were still on the waiting list.

On Influenza A(H1N1), Liow said 11 cluster cases had been confirmed and noted that the disease is still active in Malaysia.

On dengue fever, Liow said Selangor had recorded the highest number of such cases for 2008 and last year.

“In Hulu Selangor, there were 1,069 cases in 2008, 642 last year and 68 cases until April this year,” he said.

Govt drops compulsory service for docs abroad for more than 10 years.

Posted on April 12, 2010 by taqidoc| Comments Off 
BY YENG AI CHUN

KUALA LUMPUR: The Government is seeking to woo Malaysian doctors who have been working overseas for more than 10 years to return to country by abolishing the three-year compulsory Government service.

However, Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the new ruling would only be applicable to those who had self-funded their medical studies.

“The Cabinet decided that all Malaysian doctors working overseas for more than 10 years and who self-funded their studies are welcome to return and practice without the compulsory service in Government hospitals.

“This is, however, not for Government sponsored doctors,” he said in a press conference after launching the Healthcare Tourism Congress 2010 at the KLCC Convention centre Monday.

Currently, doctors who return from overseas are required to serve a three-year compulsory Government service.

Only specialists working overseas who are aged 45 years old and above are allowed to return and not serve the Government.

“We will start it this year. We will announce the details later as the Cabinet only made the decision last week,” he said.

Liow explained that the Government targeted doctors who have more than 10 years working experience as they would have a wide expertise and could contribute to the country’s medical sector.

When asked if the Government was forced to take this step because doctors working overseas refused to return because of the three-year compulsory Government service, he replied that the number of doctors trained locally had increased and this had paved the way for the decision.

“One of the factors we have identified is that we are capable of training more doctors in the country. Back in 2001, we could only train about 700 doctors a year, but now, we can train about 3,300 doctors in a year.

“The training has increased and we now have enough doctors to allow self-funded medical students who are working overseas to come back and not serve the compulsory service,” he said.

He said the move was also aimed at attracting more Malaysian specialists working overseas to serve the country.

Liow said that the increasing growth in medical tourism, the high fees foreign patients pay, increased facilities in the private sector and improved medical technology, doctors would be attracted back.

This in return, Liow said would help push the medical industry to greater heights.

“There are a lot of opportunities for Malaysian doctors returning from overseas. A lot of private hospitals are interested in employing them and the Government is willing to accept them if they want to serve us.

“For specialists returning to serve the Government, there are multi-point entries. They should not come in with a rigid pay in mind. We will pay them according to their experience and expertise,” he said.
