This is nonsense, SERIOUSLY IF GOVT SO CALL LIKE TO HIRE So call " talents " from India , means MOE , better reflect ? Our so call " world class education cannot product " Talents " ???? need to scout from India ? and why always India as usual CECA Policy?

[Clyde]

Those who have no confident on the CECA doctors will go to the private hospitals. This way MOH can save the money of subsiding them.

Why the need to issue statement when they didn't lie?

This is why perhaps " Govt trying to control the internet , now they looking how " On surface they claim control sexual content, violent, racism contents from Social media, site etc but I FEEL they also wanna control " others matters " beside politics.

If I not mistaken this hiring thing is from alternative news etc first post online.

If the number of med grads is based on healthcare sector needs... Then why need to employ from overseas and the number is larger than our yearly cohort med grad?? Then either we are not admitting enough to our med school or simply love overseas junior doc (any way they cheaper than local junior doc)???

Just doesn't add up. Lol

Issue a statement but so many things dunwan to comment?

When asked whether MOHH intends to expand the recruitment of Singaporean doctors trained overseas, the spokesman declined to comment.

She also would not comment on whether junior doctors from India make up the majority of those who are not local, and whether it issues similar tenders for recruitment services in other countries.

Now open play this " don't want to comment "

I don't know this will debate in Parliament or not. If when ask OYK surely said don't want to comment ? Since he is the Minister for MOH and he is the boss which the tops inside MOH report to him.

So the statement surely OKY got grace before press release.

[p1acebo]

I worry about the credibility of ahneh doctors who mostly have fake credentials

[Ola]

Remember PAP's Dictionary is different from ours

FWs= FTs

Graceful= Kindness

Locals= PRs

So remaining 10% = Dependent Pass??

[starbugs]

Actually a GP at polyclinic doesn't need a lot of skills and is not a very fulfilling job. Local doctors don't stay there for long also. If you want cheap polyclinic fee, you can't avoid cheap foreign doctors from IN or PH.

Easy to localised these india variant black fungus fake certificates CECA south asian baboons ….. just give them PR once they step on our shore lor ...

[klat]

So many overseas sinkee doctors want to come back to serve the cuntry’s hospitals but they make it difficult for them to work here.

Sigh.

My son injured his hand and went to KK hospital for treatment. After recovered, he still felt pain in his thumb. The CECA doctor sent him to have his palm X-rayed. After observing the X-ray, he told my son that his fingers were perfectly fine. The next day I brought him to the acupuncturist. After pressing on a few joints and bending the thumb, the pain went away. It only took the acupuncturist about a minute or 2.
So, this the standard of the CECA doctor.

I won't blame it on the ceca doctor's standard. For external injuries such as sprain, strain and even dislocation, often the Chinese 推拿 is better. I dislocated my ankle when I was in the army and all the doctor did was to give me some ointment to apply. I went to the tuina and he got it fixed in an instant.

My son dislocated his arm when he was a little boy. The paediatrician in Thomson hospital put it back for him. 
The doctor in KK hospital was supposed to be a bone specialist. How can he not able to resolve the problem?

[sgxin]

Why the need to issue statement when they didn't lie?

Should be the truth. But I guess the CECA docs could be granted citizenship in a much shorter duration than other occupations, and grouped into 90% local after working here for a few years.

[Blasterlord2]

The real reason for the shortage of doctors is that most local doctors move on to private practice after a few years. Then in private practice they charge patients an arm and a leg for the consultation.

Many years back our government removed many British universities medical degree from the accredited list, reason being " increase supply means increase demand", in order to suppress the demand. If you have a degree from those universities will you return?
My son has friends from those universities and they are doing well there after graduation.
