RECENTLY, I came across a report of the Malaysian Government's plan to send a few hundred students to study medicine in Egypt to deal with the current shortage of doctors in the country.

I am happy over the plan but at the same time feel sad that there are a few hundred qualified doctors from various non-recognised universities still jobless in Malaysia.

What is their fate? Is it a punishment for all these doctors just because they are from non-recognised universities? Why don't we plan something for them instead of asking them to sit for qualifying exams over and over again, where only a few get through each year?

It's really sad to see these doctors with no hope. Some of them are old and married but have no steady job. Some have moved to other countries.

Most of us who are doctors now are basically from very poor families who struggled very hard to get to where we are.

Yet when we came back with hopes and dreams to become doctors in our homeland we were told that our universities were not recognised and hence we were not allowed to practise.

I agree that a recognised university is a criteria under Article 12 a/b of the Medical Act 1971 for a doctor to enrol to practise in Malaysia, but if that criteria stops a few hundred of our local people from becoming doctors it is unfair.

Who is there to think of these doctors? Who is there to care for these doctors? I am happy that the Government is kind and caring as in allowing these doctors to re-sit for the exams many times. But some still can't get through the exams.

As for myself, I consider myself lucky and am thankful to the Government for giving me a chance to serve but it is sad to see some of my fellow Malaysians who are doctors living in miserable conditions. These are qualified doctors!

I hope that priority will be given to these doctors, as they don't require language classes and special salary schemes; and they are ready to work too.

I appeal to the Government to look into their plight and hopefully work towards getting them recognised as doctors here.

DR PRAKASH,

Klang.
