KUALA LUMPUR - Covid-19 treatment centres and hospitals in Malaysia face the prospect of disruptions next Monday (July 26), as thousands of junior doctors are set to go on strike.
They are walking off their jobs over demands for permanent employment and other benefits, which they say have not been met by the government.
Hartal Doktor Kontrak (HDK), which translates to Contract Doctors' Strike - a group that has been organising the strike for weeks while negotiating with the government - has warned hospitals and state health departments of the impending strike which could involve up to 20,000 doctors, many of whom are at the front line of the battle against Covid-19.
