Kekalkan doktor kerajaan jadi keutamaan presiden baharu MMA
Dr L Sivanaesan berkata negara berdepan peningkatan tuntutan perkhidmatan kesihatan dan keperluan tenaga kerja dalam sektor itu.
Presiden baru Persatuan Perubatan Malaysia, Dr L Sivanaesan, has expressed concerns over the potential loss of experienced healthcare professionals in the public healthcare system. In a speech at the MMA 2026 dinner, Sivanaesan emphasized that retaining doctors is his top priority as the country faces increasing healthcare demands and workforce needs.
He stated that training a doctor takes years and requires significant investment. When experienced doctors leave the public healthcare system, it is not just a matter of losing manpower, but also experienced, knowledgeable, and continuous care for patients. Sivanaesan highlighted that preserving doctors cannot be achieved merely by increasing the number of medical graduates; instead, focus must be placed on career advancement, working environment, professional development, and long-term prospects.
