Specialist register next year to check competency
News Update by K.SAITHURUKA of The Star
KUALA LUMPUR: A specialist register will be set up to ensure these professionals are fully competent, said Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek. He said the Health Ministry had been working with the Academy of Medicine Malaysia (AMM) to develop the registry. "The registry will also facilitate interactions, referrals and patient management among fellow specialists in various disciplines, and help members of the public identify the specialists that they want," he said at the 5th MOH-AMM Scientific Meeting at the Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel here Thursday. He said the registry would also ensure only competent foreign specialists were credentialed to practise in the country after the implementation of the Asian Free Trade Area.
