KUALA LUMPUR : Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has urged all contract doctors and healthcare workers to refrain from joining a nationwide strike on Monday .In a Facebook post, he said the demonstration could affect lives and even their career, while reminding them of the oath they made at the beginning of their profession,"primum non nocere”, which translates to “first do no harm” or injustice to their patients.

"This is to give time for the amendment to be made to the Pension Act so that permanent positions can be allowed to be employed with EPF , for example, without the pension option," he said on Sunday . "I wish to remind all that patient’s safety is our priority. Remember the oath we took sincerely and be there for your patients at the time when they and country needed you the most.
