MOH will conduct a new study this year on health human resources that can be the basis for the implementation of long-term strategies in the Health White Paper, says Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa.
MMI urges JPA to allow eligible medical students to reapply for scholarships – following PM's announcement on the continuation of med/ dentistry/ pharmacy scholarships – as the deadline for applications for JPA's 2023 scholarships was last April 2, 2023.
JPA dropped scholarships in medicine because of projected oversupply of medical officers from 2026 to 2030 based on an MOH study, says a Minister in the PM's Department. "The cost of sponsoring one medical student is equal to 10 students in other fields."
