Mohamad Hasan says these contract healthcare workers have carried out their patriotic duties to the country with great sacrifice.

Citing some global experts, who have said developing or third-world countries may not achieve the vaccination capacity to fight the pandemic until 2024, Mohamad said Malaysia must prepare for this phenomenon and beef up the existing public healthcare system. Mohamad, who is called Tok Mat by most, was referring to some 1,200 individuals who had been approved by the Public Service Commission to begin working as health workers on a contract service basis last October.

“Contract and part-time health workers working at this time should be offered permanent positions immediately. They have worked during a difficult period and their experience as frontliners is very valuable to strengthen our public health system.
