Hong Kong’s health minister says the public hospital authority should recruit dozens more doctors from overseas and give them longer contracts to relieve a manpower shortage.
\r\nDr Ko Wing-man said there was a shortage of between 200 and 300 medical staff in the public hospital system and that increasing the number of non-local doctors in departments with highest demand, such as in anaesthesiology and accident and emergency wards, would improve the situation. |
