MOH reviewing some issues before enforcing Medical Act 1971 changes

The Health Ministry still needs to review several aspects of the Medical (Amendment) Bill 2024 before it can be enforced, said Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad.

He clarified that among the issues that need to be addressed are the applications by four pioneer cardiothoracic surgery graduates to register in the National Specialist Register (NSR) and four approvals that have yet to be included in Schedule 4 of the Bill.
