這幾天因為一些事情再讀到廖宏強的文章《他鄉的故事》， http://forum.blogkaki.net/redirect.php?tid=18097&goto=lastpost 里面其實寫到了不少留臺醫學系學生長久以來的心聲， 其實想要回去的人不少， 實際回去卻呆不下去再回到臺灣的更是有人。 坦白說，10年的行醫經驗， 表示已經在國外生活至少10年， 要不要回去很大的可能不再是一個人的事情， 而是一個家庭的事情了。 ※ 引述《LavenderSuki (你要哪一張卡？)》之銘言： : KUALA LUMPUR, April 12 — The government is set to lure home more Malaysian : doctors and specialists with more than 10 years experience abroad by : exempting them for the compulsory three years service in public hospitals. : Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the programme, which was : approved by the Cabinet last week, would only be open to those who had : self-funded their studies. : He said details of the programme would be announced soon and it was expected : to be implemented this year. : “With the extensive planning and effort to strengthen medical tourism, it is : time for us to lure them home. We hope they can come back and serve the : country. : “We are increasing the facility in the private sector. There is big : potential for them here,” he told reporters after opening the Healthcare : Tourism Congress 2010 here today. : He said that to date, some 100 Malaysian doctors had returned from abroad : under the various brain-gain programmes. : On another matter, Liow said Health Director-General Tan Sri Dr Ismail : Merican had been instructed to look into the long-standing issue of : restricting doctors from advertising their services in the media. : “I recognise this problem. We feel there is a need to liberalise on this and : to allow doctors to advertise their services,” he said. : He added that if this was allowed, doctors would have to follow strict : guidelines which included disallowing them to do comparison with other : doctors. : On health tourism, Liow said the Malaysian Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), : which was launched last year, had actively embarked on several programmes : promoting Malaysia as the preferred healthcare destination. : He said that from the traditional markets like Singapore and Indonesia, : Malaysia was now targeting medical tourists from Brunei, Europe, Australia : and the United States, as well as developing Asean countries like Loas and : Cambodia. : Medical tourism was also poised to become one of the major revenue earners : for the country to spur it towards its high-income economy ambition, he added. : He said that private hospitals’ revenue in the country grew from RM58.9 : million with around 103,000 medical tourists in 2003 to RM299.1 million in : 2008 with around 374,000 medical tourists and the arrival of medical tourists : for this year was expected to rise to another 30 per cent. — Bernama --
