Chances of local docs not compromised

I REFER to the letter by Another Doctor “Unfair Practice For Malaysian Doctors” (The Star, May 26).
To further improve the health services provided by the Government, one of the initiatives taken by the Health Ministry is to increase the number of doctors working with the MOH.
Among the major steps taken is the engagement of experienced foreign medical officers. The MOH affirmed that only medical officers from recognised universities are accepted to work as contract officers in line with the requirements of the Medical Act 1971.
As these experienced medical officers are from recognised universities, they are not required to sit for the exam to be registered.
These medical officers are given full registration and Annual Practicing Certificates as per their contracts. Therefore, they can only practise medicine at the specified MOH facilities. Hence under the Act, they cannot practise in universities or act as locums in private clinics or private hospitals.
To ensure the services provided by these medical officers are of good quality and they are competent in carrying out their work, regular assessment is carried out by the MOH.
While working with the MOH, these contract doctors are not allowed to join the Masters Programme in public universities.
If they wish to join the Masters Programme, they must first resign from the MOH and follow the specific rules and regulations set by the universities and the Ministry of Higher Education.
It is worth mentioning here that the presence of these contract medical officers does not deprive the local doctors of their chances to further their education in the Masters Programme.
