Contract Doctors Dilemma

 Passion and patience is an important qualities for postgraduate training. 

 At current times most of them are contract doctors..

 If  the government doesn’t do something by next year 2022. The future doctors will be all in contract service.As such very few can take up specialisation in Malaysia since to apply for postgraduate training. A doctor should be confirmed in service with health ministry to apply for postgraduate programs.

Then many can’t apply for  this program in near future since from 2018 all joining the MOH are contract doctors.As such we will  have severe shortage of specialists in future.Though we may have enough contract doctors.If the government doesn’t expedite the confirmation soon.

As the first batch of contract doctors completing their required service in 2022. If there is no definite plan of confirming them in service.There will be  exodus of doctors since many will be  terminated from their service as their  contract expires.

Then sustaining the primary health service will be disrupted .At the same time available and application for postgraduate studies will be restricted.

Thus the government should consider the medical profession at different  perspectives when comes  to confirming in service. As this profession is an essential service which require highly skilled and qualified individuals to take care the health of the nation.
