GEORGE TOWN: The Health Ministry has been urged to set up a special committee of inquiry into the recent death of a houseman attached to Penang Hospital. He added that the Health Ministry should also review and revamp, if necessary, the existing management system especially involving the time period of assignment of doctors in medical facilities. On Wednesday (May 4), it was reported that junior doctors were allegedly being bullied and overworked. This is believed to be the second death involving a junior doctor in two years. Meanwhile, Alliance of Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said the Health Ministry should conduct a thorough and independent investigation to determine the truth.
