JOHOR BAHRU: The Johor health department is likely to take disciplinary action against contract doctors in the state if they participate in a nationwide strike expected to take place tomorrow.
The department’s director, Dr Aman Rabu, said action will only be taken if the contract doctors fail to heed the advice not to participate in the strike.
He said hospital directors in each district have also been advised to ensure that their officers are present to carry out their duties tomorrow.
“Our services are running as usual, that’s our guarantee. If it (the strike) happens, action will be taken against those who take part, as directed by the health ministry,” he said at a media conference.
Aman said the department had not received any information on whether there will be a strike among contract doctors in the state tomorrow.
