Number of family medicine specialists in Malaysia still low, says Health DG

KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 — The number of family medicine specialists in the country is still low compared to the actual need of one specialist per population of 50,000 while the ideal ratio is 1:4,000, said Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

“Currently, MOH is targeting at least one FMS person in every 1,060 MOH health clinics nationwide,” he said in a Facebook post today in conjunction with the Academy of Family Physicians of Malaysia 2022 Convocation. “Hopefully, this fraternity will continue to grow and more medical officers choose this specialty so that the health of individuals, families and communities will improve until the concept of One Family One Doctor is achieved,” he said.
