Malaysia needs more Emergency Specialists

ALOR STAR: The country is in need of more emergency specialists, Deputy Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Hilmi Yahaya said today. He noted that the present number of 300‎ emergency specialists throughout the country was not enough to meet the nation's needs. 


"We need at least 900 emergency specialists, and that is just the bare minimum. "There is a lot of interest in the field. An average of 200 people apply each year to become emergency specialists, but there are only 60 places available in three universities, namely Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Universiti Malaya (UM). "To make up for the shortfall, those such as medical officers and doctors stand in temporarily," he said in a press conference after opening the First Malaysia Mass Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in Costume programme, held at Aman Central here today.

More than 500 people took part in the programme, which required participants to dress up in superhero costumes and perform CPR. Also present were Kedah Health director Datuk Dr Norhizan Ismail and Yayasan Jariah Malaysia chairman Mahadzir Abdul Hamid.‎

Wujud pegawai pergigian baharu secara berperingkat

PUTRAJAYA - Kementerian Kesihatan (KKM) akan mewujudkan jawatan Pegawai Pergigian baharu secara berperingkat bagi memenuhi harapan rakyat terhadap perkhidmatan kesihatan pergigian yang semakin meningkat serta pembangunan kemudahan kesihatan yang dinamik.

Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan, Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah berkata, pada tahun ini, 391 jawatan pada gred U41 baru dan 300 jawatan kontrak bagi warganegara diwujudkan bagi menempatkan baki graduan pergigian pada tahun lepas yang belum dilantik.

“Permohonan jawatan tambahan Pegawai Pergigian akan dibuat secara berperingkat untuk graduan 2016 dan berikutnya,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan sebagai mengulas laporan sebuah stesen televisyen baru-baru ini mengenai nasib graduan bidang pergigian yang terpaksa menunggu hampir setahun untuk penempatan khidmat wajib hospital kerajaan.

Dr Noor Hisham juga menafikan terdapat lambakan graduan pergigian dalam negara.

Beliau berkata, jumlah graduan yang sebahagian besarnya lulusan luar negara menunjukkan peningkatan hampir dua kali ganda sejak 2014 iaitu 245 orang pada 2013, 2014 (447) dan 2015 (482).

Namun begitu, Dr Noor Hisham berkata, berdasarkan unjuran keperluan Pegawai Pergigian oleh KKM, negara masih memerlukan Pegawai Pergigian.

“Dengan mengambil kira pertambahan penduduk, jangkaan bilangan graduan dan bilangan atrisi, nisbah Pengamal Pergigian kepada penduduk semasa iaitu 1:3,000 hanya akan tercapai pada tahun 2018.

“Selaras dengan itu, pembangunan dan perkembangan kemudahan KKM juga akan dikaji semula supaya tidak menjejaskan perancangan penempatan graduan pergigian untuk khidmat wajib,” katanya.

 Dr Noor Hisham berkata KKM sangat prihatin di atas isu penempatan wajib graduan pergigian baharu dan sedang memperhalusi beberapa kaedah dan pendekatan bagi menangani isu berkenaan.

Pada ketika ini, terdapat kekangan perjawatan kosong bagi Pegawai Pergigian di KKM kerana jawatan yang sedia ada hampir keseluruhannya iaitu 99 peratus telah diisi.

“Seramai 980 graduan mendaftar dengan Majlis Pergigian Malaysia tahun lepas dan jumlah ini menunjukkan peningkatan yang amat ketara berbanding tahun-tahun sebelumnnya. Daripada jumlah ini, 504 graduan mendapat penempatan di KKM.

“Baki 476 telah menunggu selama enam hingga sembilan bulan dan masih belum mendapat penempatan memandangkan hanya 87 perjawatan kosong untuk diisi.

Tambahan pula, kadar atrisi Pegawai Pergigian pada tahun lepas hanya lapan peratus,” katanya.

Sehubungan itu, Dr Noor Hisham berkata, beberapa perbincangan telah dan akan diadakan dengan pelbagai pihak berkepentingan termasuk pihak swasta bagi mengkaji kaedah-kaedah lain bagi mengatasi isu penempatan Pegawai Pergigian.

Bagi menangani masalah penempatan graduan pergigian, Dr Noor Hisham berkata KKM juga mengurangkan tempoh menjalani khidmat wajib graduan pergigian di KKM iaitu daripada tiga tahun pada tahun 2001 kepada dua tahun pada 5 April 2012 dan seterusnya kepada setahun pada 1 Julai tahun lepas.

Beliau berkata, kini sebanyak 95 peratus graduan pergigian menjalani khidmat wajib di KKM, seperti yang terkandung di dalam Akta Pergigian 1971 di mana perkhidmatan awam ini merangkumi Kementerian Kesihatan, Kementerian Pengajian
Tinggi dan Kementerian Pertahanan.

“Selaras dengan perkembangan semasa dan setelah mengambil kira pengeluaran graduan pergigian dari pelbagai universiti dalam dan luar negara, khidmat wajib ini juga dapat memastikan graduan dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan sistem kesihatan negara.

“Pengurangan tempoh khidmat wajib akan memberi peluang kepada Pegawai Pergigian untuk berkhidmat di sektor swasta dalam tempoh yang lebih singkat,” kata Dr Noor Hisham.

Bagi menangani masalah penempatan graduan pergigian, Dr Noor Hisham berkata sejak tahun 2012, panduan lantikan pegawai kontrak di KKM dikaji semula di mana KKM menamatkan lantikan Pegawai Pergigian kontrak bukan warganegara dan pesara bagi memberi laluan pekerjaan kepada graduan baharu.

Beliau juga berkata, mulai 1 Mac 2013, Moratorium Program Pergigian dikuat kuasa selama tempoh lima tahun sehingga 2018 dan satu daripada syarat yang terkandung dalam moratorium adalah mengehadkan jumlah pengambilan pelajar tempatan kepada 800 setahun.

UAE tawar gaji lumayan pada graduan Malaysia

UAE tawar gaji lumayan pada graduan Malaysia: Emiriah Arab Bersatu (UAE) menawarkan gaji lumayan kepada graduan Malaysia yang ingin berkhidmat di negara yang paling pesat membangun di dunia itu.

 Menurut penasihat kepada Menteri Pendidikan Tinggi, Prof. Emeritus Datuk Dr. Kamarudin Hussin, UAE memerlukan ramai jurutera khususnya dalam bidang minyak dan gas serta perbankan Islam pada masa hadapan.

Di Fujairah, yang menjadi nadi pengeksportan minyak dan gas di UAE, hanya mempunyai kira-kira 100 jurutera pakar.

“Justeru peluang ini harus direbut graduan Malaysia untuk ber­khid­mat di Fujairah dan menerima gaji lumayan serta mengembangkan kepakaran bersama UAE.

“Kita juga melihat universiti awam dan swasta khususnya Pendidikan Teknikal dan Latihan Vokasional (TVET) di Malaysia turut berpotensi untuk menjalin hubungan dan kepakaran dalam bidang terbabit,” kata beliau.

Kenapa Nak Jadi Doktor?

"Kenapa nak jadi doktor?" Rasanya itu soalan skema, skrip standard mana-mana tempat dalam Malaysia.

Serasa sejak sekolah rendah, kalau disuarakan yang cita-cita hati nak jadi doktor, mesti soalan "kenapa?" menyusul.

Kalau zaman muda, berhingus dulu, pastilah jawapan sebegini yang keluar.

"Saya nak tolong orang yang dalam kesusahan."

"Saya nak jadi kaya."

"Doktor disanjung masyarakat."

Kalau kini soalan itu ditanya pada rakan-rakan pelajar perubatan, skema jawapannya masih sama. Cuma ada tambahan, mungkin.

"Mak ayah suruh."

"Saya minat biologi, Tak pandai matematik."


tak kurang yang menjawab " im born to be a doctor. WOW!"

Walau apapun sebab luaran anda, pastikan sebab dalam anda kukuh

Kerana bidang perubatan tak seindah yang kita nampak secara lahiriah atau superficial macam dalam drama atau filem.

Kata professor saya, tak cukup sekadar hasrat nak membantu orang. "Bagaimana nak membantu orang, kalau diri kamu sendiri kelak tidak terbantu?"

"Kamu bersengkang mata, tak cukup tidur. Kena herdik dengan pesakit, kena marah dengan doktor pakar lagi. Staf tarik muka dengan kamu, betul kamu rasa niat kamu nak 'membantu manusia lain;' itu dapat menyelamatkan kamu? Keluarga kamu terabai, makan pakai suami entah terjaga entah tidak? Betul kamu jadi doktor hanya atas sebab mahu tolong orang, disanjung, atau kaya?"

Professor senyum sinis, pelajar-pelajar perubatan yang mendengarnya ada yang termenung panjang, ada yang tersipu-sipu. Tak kurang ada yang mencebikkan muka.

Jadilah apapun yang kamu mahu. Jadikanlah ia kerana Allah, kerana agamamu.

Lalu professor itu tersenyum lagi. Diajaknya semua pelajarnya berfikir.

"Ayuh kita betulkan niat."

Dalam hidup kita, akan ada banyak perubahan. Contoh senang.
Tahun ni kita suka makan kuih cara, tahun depan mungkin kuih lapis pula.

Bagaimana minat kita boleh berubah, jadi jangan disandarkan pilihan kita pada minat semata-mata. Minat boleh berubah. Pada bila-bila masa. Teguhkan minat dengan niat.

Pekerjaan ini merupakan satu ibadah. Ya, menjadi doktor satu ibadah, menjadi tukang kebun juga ibadah, menjadi pekerja kantin juga ibadah. Betulkan niat anda.

Jom! ^_^

KNOW YOUR DOCTOR

Assalamualaikum and good day everyone! Well today we got someone very special and very near to our heart which is none other than our own; PROFESSOR DR. HALA MAKLAD.

Currently she is the Coordinator of the IUMP Students and one of our professors in the Physiology Department of Alexandria University, Egypt.

Her presence of such a role model to her students and motherly figure to all of us had make us wonder what was her secret to be a successful doctor and a wonderful person. Therefore let us follow her interview below and hopefully this will encourage us to become a better doctor/person in a future.

1) Dr Hala, can you share a glimpse about your life and why you chose medicine?

I am a mother of 2 children, a professor in the Physiology department and the Coordinator of the IUMP students. Since I was in primary school, I always wanted to become a doctor and treat patients. Because of that, I studied hard to become the best student as only the best student was accepted in medicine. When I graduated from secondary school, I got 94% and the minimum score to enter faculty of medicine during that time was 89%. So I had all opportunities to choose between medicine, dentistry or pharmacy. But, I specifically chose medicine as I could treat patients from all their suffering.

2) What were your dreams when you were a medical student?

From the first second I entered faculty of medicine, I knew that I had to be the best. A doctor which is professional, excellent and always on the top; not only midway. I wanted to become a specialist in surgery or obstetrics and gynecology. I was the 20th in my batch during graduation but because of certain circumstances, I chose Physiology instead and I never regretted my decision. After a few year as a lecturer in the Physiology department, I was trusted by my colleagues, workers and students to be a coordinator and since then, I involved myself in administration.

3) What are your secrets behind your success in your studies?

Study hard. That is the only job and responsibility for you as a student. The moment you spend your time on useless things, your time won’t come back. As Prophet Muhammad said: “ ان الله يحب اذا عمل أحدكم العمل أن يتقنه" Which means: Surely, Allah loves when someone does his best.

4) Lately, the results of Malaysian students are getting worse. What are your comments and advises?

I met with the students and they told me that there were a few professors which were difficult to understand. Even so, the students should not depend 100% on the professors and study on their own. If they have any difficulties in understanding the subject, they should refer to another professor as the doors are always open. All professors are willing to help and our job here is to teach the students. Apart from that, the students should also revise the topic they learned on the same day without delay as they will forget if they don’t do so and it will become more difficult. The topic should also be revised multiple times (understanding and recall).

When I was a student, I would study 6 hours every day and manage my time properly. I will start studying at 6 pm until midnight and have little sleep. As a doctor, you should always target to be the best. If you were a patient, you would never give your soul to an ordinary or incompetent doctor. Doctors are one of the professions that deals with a human’s life. So no chances for mistakes. Any mistakes can cause death or complications for the patients.

5) What was the biggest challenge that you’ve been through to have reached to this level?

As I said before, the main reason I wanted to be a doctor was to treat patients. But when I involved myself in education, my times spent with patients were reduced so it was difficult for me at first. Later on, I enjoyed my profession and begin to search on how to make my teaching more interesting, simple and easy to understand. I read lots of books and asked the senior professors if I did not understand. It is definitely difficult for me to balance between being a doctor, a professor and an IUMP coordinator. But I insist in helping the students and the international program to be more successful. My aim is to see the graduates from the International program reach the same level as other graduates from other international universities such as from the UK and USA.

6) What are your motivations to keep working hard?

Feeling responsible. I feel responsible to be a good mother. So I always make sure that my son and daughter are studying. I feel responsible to my students. So I do my best for them and I refuse to be a failure. I put a lot of efforts in my work and I am satisfied with myself. I am proud to see successful graduates who love me and still keep in contact with me even though they have graduated 3-4 years ago.

7) What would you say to those who think that women should not be leaders?

I think women can also do what men can do. As an example, in Britain. They are led by Queen Elizabeth. As long as she sets her goal, she can achieve it even though she has a lot of responsibilities.

8) What are your final advice for the students?

The moment you enter medicine, you must realize that medicine is a difficult profession and you should make a lot of sacrifices. You should have a motive to keep you going. Put a plan in front of you; what you want to be in the future. Work hard and do your best.
