Many pharmacists fail to get permanent posts while those who do are in the dark


The Pakatan Harapan government, in its election manifesto, aimed to elevate health expenditure from 4% of GDP to 6%-7% of GDP.

KUALA LUMPUR: Anxiety is running high among the first batch of doctors and pharmacists on contract service who have either just completed, or are completing their housemanship, this month.

While those receiving letters of confirmation of permanent posts are anxious as they have not been informed of their postings, those who did not get permanent job were disappointed and hoped the Health Ministry would be transparent and disclose the selection criteria.
