Move to make sure all doctors have required skills
By AUDREY EDWARDS

PUTRAJAYA: Newly qualified doctors will have to undergo two years' compulsory housemanship from next year.
Currently, they only have to do a year of housemanship.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, who announced the Cabinet decision yesterday, said the move was considered important to increase the knowledge, skills and experience of graduate medical officers.
“This will improve the quality of services and healthcare standards,” he said.
A rotation system of four months in six departments will be implemented. With the newest inclusion being the accident and emergency department, the rest are medical, paediatric, general surgery, orthopaedic, obstetrics and gynaecology.
“We have observed that in the past few years, about three to five per cent of graduate medical officers do not get full registration because they have weaknesses in knowledge or skills,” he told reporters before chairing his ministry’s post-Cabinet meeting.
“We cannot let this continue. We hope the move is seen as a positive one by future graduates and we are confident the rakyat (people) will support us.”
After the two-year housemanship, the doctors would have to serve their three years' compulsory service with the Government or its agencies, he said.
Dr Chua said the ministry would apply to the Government to place them under the U43 grade upon completing the two years' housemanship compared to the current U41. The U43 pay scale is RM500 more than U41.
He said the doctors would be able to pursue their specialist courses or Master’s after serving two years' compulsory service compared to the current situation whereby they can only apply to further their studies after three years.
About 1,200 local medical students graduate annually.
Dr Chua also announced the Cabinet’s decision to disallow the future setting up of private cord blood banks because while it was a new service with huge potential to treat specific diseases, there were still ethical issues to be scrutinised.
He said the existing centres would have to apply for a licence from the ministry within the next two months and would be registered under the Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Act 1998.

Pertukaran... 改變

Change... 'to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone'

I have changed...
For better or worse....
I am no more the same me again...
Water change into vapour by evaporating...
Water does not have a choice not to evaporate...
Chameleon changes to different colour...
Chameleon changes to evade enemy on its own will...

I have changed, not because of somebody... is it just part of life? or am i just looking for excuse for my misbehaving...
My changes might not favour everyone; in fact, it might even irritate someone without me realising... i have forgotten the Angel in me... i have let the Devil in me overpowered me... the devil side of me have become more apparent than before... till the extend that i could not acknowledge that that was me who did or said something just now...

Is it for good or for bad? I dunno.... hope the Angel in me would grew stronger and stronger and beat the Devil in me... Someone told me before... being a good guy since the first day does not distingush u from the rest... but if a well known bad guy did a single good deed on a single occasion... he will stand out from the crowd and being glorified.... something for you to ponder

well... life goes on.... and on ... and on
