The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has expressed concerns over the health ministry's new shift system for healthcare workers, set to pilot in seven hospitals from February 1. The MMA warns that this system may put additional strain on the already overburdened healthcare system, potentially affecting the quality of patient care. With the pilot launch approaching, the MMA is urging the ministry to reconsider the implementation of this system to avoid exacerbating the existing healthcare workforce shortage. Keywords like healthcare system, shift system, and patient care are crucial in this context. The MMA's concerns highlight the need for a more sustainable solution to support healthcare workers and patients alike.
