KUALA LUMPUR: Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah is urging all doctors and healthcare workers on contract post to refrain from joining a nationwide strike tomorrow and reminds them that many lives are on the line.
In a posting on his Facebook official account yesterday, he said the demonstration could affect lives and even their career, while reminding them of the oath they made at the beginning of their profession, “primum non nocere” which translates to 'first do no harm' or injustice to their patients.
“While we understand that you wish to continue serving the ministry (Health Ministry) in a permanent post, currently the government has announced a two-year extension of the contract position.
