Malaysian doctors could be leaving the industry as they are severely overworked, bullied and burned out. This is unless the Health Ministry intervenes and addresses perennial issues in the healthcare sector, according to findings in a recent survey.
In conjunction with National Doctors Day, government spokesman Fahmi Fadzil said Putrajaya took note on Sunday that there had been a 1,131 per cent increase in resignations involving Malaysian contract doctors in 2022, with 1,354 resignations compared with 110 cases in 2017.
The trend has been rising consistently every year with 168 contract doctors leaving the service in 2018, 475 in 2019, 511 in 2020, 768 in 2021 and 1,354 in 2022, according to data from the Health Ministry.
