The draft amendment bill for the Medical Act to resolve the issue of registering medical doctors who obtain specialist qualifications through the parallel pathway has been submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) for review, said Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad.

Dzulkefly said several engagement sessions will also be held with the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC), the Higher Education Ministry, and other stakeholders before it is presented to the cabinet.
