"It just moves too quickly for that normal “test-trace-isolate” approach to actually be effective."
The "slippery" #Delta variant sweeps through #Australia, triggering lockdowns in #Sydney, #Melbourne and #Brisbane.
Only about 21% of people above 16 fully vaccinated.
The latest, with Deakin University's Chair of Epidemiology Dr. Catherine Bennett.
I spoke to a doc friend of mine, and he echoes the sentiments that there is an insufficient number of posts available for housemanship in our country.
If you recall many years back , there was a glut of medical graduates - I remember during my Uni days, when the quota for students applying for courses in medicine was capped to a certain number. That was back in the late 90s early 2000s.
But with the introduction of private institutions which offer medical courses , we saw an increase of medical graduates.
“Over the years, private medical schools have become convenient scapegoats for what is claimed to be an excessive number of medical graduates in this country, when it is self-evident that this is only part of the story,” ~ Prof. Dr Pravdeep Nair.
Obstetrician and Gynaecologist senior consultant Prof Dr Zaleha Abdullah Mahdy pointed out that the country’s doctor to population ratio was alarmingly imbalanced.
“The problem now is that there aren’t enough posts for doctors to fill in the public health service sector; it has not expanded in line with the population’s needs.”
Prof Pradeep suggested ramping up our healthcare expenditure to ease the gridlock in available posts in the medium and long term, as Malaysia currently spends 4.4% of its gross domestic product on healthcare, compared to the recommended 7% by WHO.
“Another solution is to explore the possibility of smart partnerships with private medical centres and medical schools by allowing housemanship training in the private sector.
“This is in place in Australia under the Commonwealth Medical Internships Initiative,” he said.
He said with a moratorium currently placed on the number of medical programmes in the country as well as limits on intakes, the next steps to consider are a phased reduction in the number of overseas schools Malaysia recognises; a scheduled discontinuance of the provisional registration examination for unrecognised graduates; the introduction of a common competencies checklist for all Malaysian medical undergraduates studying locally or abroad; and the introduction of a common exit examination for all Malaysians who are medical graduates intending to work in Malaysia.
While calling for the current contract doctors to be absorbed into permanent positions, Medical Practitioners Coalition Association of Malaysia president Dr Raj Kumar Maharajah said the number of medical colleges in the country must be controlled.
“Cut down student intakes in private medical colleges by at least 70% and by 50% in public institutions until the situation is normalised,” he said.

Do you think it’s fair that these contract doctors decided to do a boikot when the country needs them most?
1. Hell yeah!
2. No. It’s an opportunist move.
Would love to hear your views.
GIVEAWAY! Details at the bottom of the post. Nuts about you 😍
I read an article awhile back that reported about the devastating effects the bee population faced due to the surge in popularity of almond milk. It was really shocking, and I had no clue. And that made me realise that our food choices can impact the world!
Re- is a healthy snacks brand that sells 100% natural and traceable products and they do so much to ensure that their products empower and protect the environment and community - from the health of bees, to the livelihood of farmers. Their nuts are fresh and delicious - we just kept snacking on them!
I love their Lightly Salted Almonds, and am glad we can enjoy them knowing that the health of bees are put first, as Re- provides constant fresh water sources and nectar-rich plants help to nurture bee health at their almond orchards in Australia, and ensure no pesticides or herbicides are used while bees are pollinating almond trees.
There are 5 sets of 2 assorted nuts for you to win! All you have to do is:
1. Tag 2 friends and comment sharing about how you are doing good for your body or the planet
2. Follow @WeAreReFoods on Instagram

[WHERE ARE THE ASIAN BORDERS? (PART 1: AUSTRALIA & AFRICA)]
Asia is the largest of all continents, covering an area of 44,579,000 square kilometres, that's 30% of the Earth's total land area.
It has given rise to many of the world's first civilizations, and has long been home to the majority of the human population.
But have you ever wondered what actually counts as Asia? Where exactly are the borders?
Do they sit nicely in between countries, or can a country be divided?
This video is part one of a three part series. We cover the specific Asian borders following the coastal regions from the Tumen River between North Korea & Russia to the Suez Canal in Egypt.
In between, we go over Japan's Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands, the Malay Archipelago, Indonesia's border with Papua New Guinea, the Wallace Line, the Weber Line, Asian continental shelf, the Middle East, Yemen's Socotra Archipelago, Afro-Eurasia, Egypt's border, and more.
Part two will cover the messy Europe Asia border, Russia's continental status, and the North America Asia border that isn't as simple as you might think.
Jointly organised by the VTC and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) of Singapore, the ITE-VTC International Student Seminar is a biennial exchange event held for students of Hong Kong and Singapore. This year the Seminar was held on 24-26 June in Singapore, where over 600 students from the VTC, the ITE, Australia and Germany gathered together to explore social issues on the greying population, poverty and needs of the disabled.
