360 medical officers in public service resign every year
She said the ministry was aware of the number of resignations and was doing its best to retain the officers through various initiatives, including increasing the number of medical, dentistry and pharmacy graduates in the public service.
"As a result, the number of medical graduates attached to the ministry is expected to increase to 3,793 this year compared to 3,702 last year.
This does say something, doesn't it?The solution, as they say, is by increasing the number of graduates.
360 Medical Officers per year, which is equivalent to 1800 doctors in 5 years have gone to private. What a waste.
When you increase the number of the juniors, that means you need a lot of seniors to supervise them. Do they want a blind to lead another blind, again and again?
If you talk to us, the juniors, we seriously do not mind if our public hospital specialists' pay is raised. They deserve this very well. Their colleagues in private earn a triple or quadraple to what they earn in public. I would be tempted, and who would not?
Stop this rhetoric 'You are giving a service to the public, bla bla bla..'. It doesn't work anymore.
Many, including the Malays are rendering their service outside/overseas to the people that never paid a single cent for their(Malaysians) education.
I hope the government will do something. For us, we are still juniors so we are not asking much.
For the seniors, who are seeing hundreds and thousands of patients and being paid of merely RM5000, this is what I name ridiculously underpaid.
Specialists are more senior than senior doctors, and the gap between the pay is not that big.
The time has come for a change.
till next time,
assalamualaikum
