MMI General Assembly

Be part of the collective voice.

The MMI General Assembly (GA) is a 2-hour session meeting aimed at producing and presenting memorandum. It will involve the presentation of a draft memorandum produced by the Members of the Table (MoT) during the Pre-Summit Series. Other delegates, being Members of the Floor (MoF) can review and suggest amendment of the draft memorandum 2 weeks prior to MMI GA, of which announcement will be made that the draft memorandum is released. It is complemented with a Pre-Summit Series by preparing delegates with palatable discussion, networking opportunity, as well as improving soft skills through a seminar, workshops and meetings.

Contract System of Doctors in Malaysia

The glut of medical graduates, limited places in training hospitals, and financial constraints have necessitated the adoption of a contract system for doctors in Malaysia. The change might be the way forward, but the new contract system for doctors in Malaysia has encountered many controversies since its adoption. The uncertainties of it are intimidating not just to the doctors’ livelihood but also to the future of the healthcare system. We would like to invite you to be part of this collective voice.

The memorandum produced about Malaysia’s contract system of doctors will be signed by MMI. Other proposed signatories are the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA), Medical Societies and prominent individuals in medical fraternity.

 

“Only a mere 13 per cent of some 4,500 doctors from all four cohorts — starting with housemanships beginning on December 5, 2016, since the contract system was introduced — received permanent positions as medical officers, or nearly 600 doctors.”
