Treat contract healthcare workers right, Pakatan health committee tells Putrajaya

KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 — The Pakatan Harapan health committee has recommended the government take several steps to address the issue of contract healthcare workers.

“Firstly we propose the evaluation and selection process for appointments should be made fairly, transparently, and based on merit,” said the committee in a statement. “Secondly, contract doctors should be given the same opportunity as permanent appointed doctors to receive the scholarship, and join the Master of Medicine programme or Parallel Pathways. This can be accomplished via a Cabinet decision and change to internal policy.

It also recommended that contract healthcare workers should be given fair and equal treatment as permanent appointed healthcare workers, since they have the same responsibilities and work burden, as well as face the same risks of infection at their workplaces. The treatment should include salary, special duty leave, and others.
