TalentCorp seeks health ministry deal to bring home experts abroad
The agency says it plans to formalise its collaboration with the health ministry to improve coordination.
TalentCorp has been collaborating with the Malaysian health ministry to streamline the returning experts programme for health professionals working abroad. The agency aims to formalise its partnership through a memorandum of understanding, which will enhance coordination and expedite the process. Since 2011, TalentCorp has received 774 applications from health professionals, approving 495 and seeing 351 of them return to Malaysia.
The review of the programme was prompted by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's call for a reevaluation of the application process for Malaysians wishing to return and contribute their expertise. To return to Malaysia, health professionals must obtain the necessary professional registrations, such as those from the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) and the National Specialist Register.
Additionally, they must undergo a technical assessment conducted by a joint working committee comprising TalentCorp, the ministry, MMC, and relevant regulatory and professional bodies.
