Dr Zaliha: MoH to conduct new study on actual needs of health workforce

PUTRAJAYA, June 13 — The Ministry of Health will conduct a study this year to review the country’s actual needs for different categories of human resources for health, said its minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa.

The ministry will continue to discuss with the Public Service Department to ensure that the health policies and plans prepared are in line with the needs of the people, she explained. On the JPA’s decision to stop sponsoring students pursuing studies in medicine, dentistry and pharmacy, Dr Zaliha said this was based on the previous policy made in accordance with the findings of the Supply and Needs-Based Requirement Projections of Malaysian Human Resources for Health Using System Dynamics Approach 2016-2030 study conducted by MoH.

The health workforce projections can be improved by taking into account changes in government policies after 2015, post-Covid-19 health needs, changes in the burden of disease, medical technological developments and the need for services according to areas of expertise in the public and private sectors, she said.
