Amendments to the Medical Act 1971 have been proposed to resolve the issue of registering medical doctors who obtain their specialist qualifications through the parallel pathway and to streamline the process of recognition and registration as medical specialists, said Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.
“The Cabinet meeting has agreed in principle to this proposal. The bill for the amendments will be presented at the Second Meeting of the Third Session of the Fifteenth Parliament in 2024 after it is approved by the Cabinet,“ he said in a statement today. He said the parallel pathway, implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and medical master’s programmes by local higher education institutions , aims to produce more specialists to meet these demands.
“Consequently, doctors who have completed any such programmes will be eligible for registration as medical specialists in the National Specialist Register under the Malaysian Medical Council . This will allow for the prompt resolution of any arising issues,“ he said.
