doctor surplus in malaysia

i never know before that the number of medical school in malaysia is >24. Govt and private combined.

the UK has 32 medical school across the region with its population of 61.8 million. Malaysia on the other hand, has 27.5 million of population.

Canada has 17 medical schools. Its population is 33.7million.

what i'm trying to get to is that developed countries like canada stressed quality over quantity! When i was there, our class was small. Only doctors trained by canadian universities are allowed to work there eventhough they are canadian. Others would have to sit for an exam before being offered a place.

For Malaysia, it seems like quantity is more important thus putting qualities on jeopardy.

so a five-year moratoriom on medical courses is definitely a must. To put a halt on the glut of poor trained housemen in malaysia. Once a shortage in doctors, might not be there anymore as of 2009 the country has produced a surplus. more than required. in 2010 we produced 3552 more doctors than needed.
