00:00I would like to ask you about the number of student nurses or PPS, House Officers in Housemanship,
00:10who were appointed in 2024, especially in Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital, Klang, Ishtar,
00:16and the second is related to the target of PPS recruitment in 2025 and the number of PPS who are waiting for their placement.
00:26For your information, the number of student nurses in House Officers in Housemanship
00:36is currently six times a year.
00:41In the first half of 2020, there were some who waited for a year,
00:47but now we are doing it six times a year, with a two-month period,
00:54compared to the waiting period last year.
01:01And regarding the question,
01:04regarding the number of student nurses who were appointed in 2024,
01:09based on the KKM statistics, all graduates who have registered with the Malaysian Medical Association,
01:16in 2024, which is a total of 3,316,
01:21have been appointed as PPS student nurses and placed in HLS student nursing hospitals across the country.
01:29From that number, 423, is the direct answer,
01:36as many as 423 PPS have been placed in Ishtar, Klang.
01:42And for 2025, the Ministry of Health is planning to appoint as many as 3,000 PPS student nurses
01:53who will be placed in 49 HLS student nursing hospitals.
01:58Out of the 150 hospitals in the country,
02:06only 49 HLS students will be placed.
02:11For the first generation, in 2025, the KKM has appointed as many as 1,114,
02:18in terms of contract, medical workers.
02:20They were appointed as UD9 medical workers,
02:24but to conduct student training, as I mentioned earlier,
02:28in 49 HLS hospitals across the country.
02:33And that's what I need to emphasize,
02:37including 14 state hospitals,
02:3926 major hospitals,
02:415 minor hospitals,
02:44and 3 university hospitals,
02:47HUKM, PPUM, and HUSM,
02:49and one military hospital,
02:51Tuan Ku Mizan.
02:53That's my brief answer.
02:55Thank you, Mr. Ahmad Klang.
02:57Thank you, Minister, for such a complete answer.
03:02Minister, what is the mechanism,
03:04the control that is implemented to curb
03:07the culture of bullying doctors and nurses
03:11in order to ensure that they are not exploited
03:15by the superiors?
03:22Let's get back to the topic of bullying.
03:26Okay.
03:27And the main target is always the HOs,
03:31the House Officers,
03:32and also the newly appointed young doctors.
03:37Let me emphasize once again,
03:39it is very important for us to create
03:42what is called a just working environment
03:47in health facilities.
03:49Not just KKM,
03:50even all health facilities,
03:51including MOHE and also ATM.
03:54For us to create what is called a just working environment,
03:58or a working environment that is conducive,
04:02full of empathy,
04:04fair,
04:05and respecting each other.
04:08The senior consultants,
04:10junior doctors,
04:12MOs,
04:13and also HOs.
04:14That is very important.
04:15And the role of HODs,
04:17the officials,
04:18the selectors,
04:20is very important.
04:22So, even though we have specific steps
04:25to create a mental health link,
04:29a heal link,
04:30with 1555,
04:33we also have guidelines on bullying management at work.
04:37For KKM members,
04:39we also develop a mental health pocket note at work.
04:42We also provide counselling services
04:45by psychologists,
04:46coaches,
04:47as well as public service leaders,
04:49which is called ACRAP.
04:51We also provide a digital platform,
04:53MyMinda,
04:54and the Mental Health and Psychological Support System,
04:59MHPSS.
05:01All of these are important.
05:03Introducing the House Officers Encouragement and Reassurance Program
05:07through sharing and support HUDs,
05:09H-E-R-T-S.
05:10But for me,
05:12it is essential for us to be responsible,
05:16especially the officials,
05:18senior consultants,
05:19experts,
05:20and so on,
05:21to ensure,
05:22to create a fair work culture,
05:26full of empathy,
05:27so that we can create a great teamwork,
05:32that is cohesive and full.
05:34Blas Ehsan.
