Open letter to Dzulkefly Ahmad, Minister of Health Malaysia — Dr John Teo

It’s been nearly a year since the Pakatan historic win. The public and many doctors have been waiting patiently for new policies and directions that is going to take Malaysian healthcare to the next level. As a doctor, iIstand in awe at your incredible political will to decrease smoking among the public and reduce its myriads of associated ill health. It takes no less than the greatest of resolve and commitment to the health of all Malaysians for such a historic move to happen.

1) We got too many doctors and there are too limited places for training. At the same time, entry requirements into medical schools are varied and unlike before where very stringent criteria apply. Many medical graduates have to wait for a substantial period of time to get jobs. This is common knowledge for years as you are aware but yet these problems persist.

3) Excessive government-linked companies in private healthcare. Government role is critical in appropriate regulations, directions and framework but should have no business in profit-making. The participation and near monopoly of GLCs in private healthcare creates conflict of interest and increases costs due to the limited free and fair competitions among private health care providers. If anything, GLCs participation in private healthcare should be on a non-profit basis.
