Malaysia's Health Ministry plans to recruit 4,352 healthcare workers using an expedited hiring system. Minister Datuk Seri Dzulkefly Ahmad made this announcement following yesterday's Cabinet discussions. The minister directed the secretary-general and director-general to abandon traditional recruitment methods. This accelerated approach addresses the severe shortage of medical staff across the nation. The decision reflects government priorities for strengthening healthcare infrastructure.

Healthcare professionals must complete registration under the Allied Health Professions Act 2016 before December 31, 2026. The Annual Practising Certificate becomes mandatory for all practitioners during this period. MOH Allied Health Sciences Division director L Mageswary warned that unregistered practice carries serious legal consequences. Individual violators face fines reaching RM50,000 or imprisonment up to two years. Corporate entities risk penalties of RM100,000 with additional daily charges for ongoing violations.
