KAPIT: The Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil
Services (Cuepacs) has called on the government to immediately recruit
and assign more medical officers (MOs) to Kapit Hospital.
Cuepacs
Malaysia deputy president Azih Muda announced this yesterday during a
press conference after meeting with civil servants here.
“Cuepacs
calls on the government and the relevant agency and ministry – Public
Services Commission and the Ministry of Health Malaysia and the Sarawak
Health Department – to immediately recruit and deploy more medical
officers to Kapit Hospital in line with the government under Prime
Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s slogan 1Malaysia: People First,
Performance Now,” he said.Azih said Cuepacs members here had complained that there are not enough MOs to look after the people’s needs.
“There
are only six or seven MOs but there are more than 120,000 people. It is
definitely not enough to provide for the healthcare of the people.“Can
you imagine the very heavy responsibility of the MOs serving here?
Cuepacs is concerned and we call on the government and the relevant
agencies to act immediately,” he said.
He added that Cuepacs hopes
the government will announce a new salary scheme to replace the New
Civil Service Remuneration Scheme (SBPA), which was rejected in 2011.Cuepacs met with civil servants to get their feedback on various issues faced by those serving in Kapit.
