A PKR leader accuses the Health Minister of deliberately ignoring the controversy surrounding the private institution.

PETALING JAYA: A PKR leader today sought the withdrawal of a licence given to Lincoln University College (LUC) to run an offshore medical programme in the Ukraine.

Malacca PKR vice chairman G Rajendran, referring to a report that LUC was one of four private colleges that were fined last year for breaching a moratorium on nursing courses, said it was “strange” that the government had ignored this bad record when approving the licence last Nov 29.

However, it is not clear whether the breach was discovered before or after Nov 29.

The disclosure of the offence came last March 26 from Deputy Higher Education Minister Hou Kok Chung, who was replying to a question in Parliament. The moratorium, to address the problem of oversupply of nurses, has been in place since July 2010.


LUC and MMC could not be contacted for comment.

india has a failed and failing healthcare system....and they are doing the wrong things to address the problem....

never mix up evidence based modern medicine system with largely non evidenced based alternative systems....

like i said earlier, they should have trained paramedics to provide basic healthcare like msia, rather than mixing everything up....a recipe for disaster....

When the patient comes to Allopathy doctor he studies the patient first with the anatomy and finds the cause(Pathology), Distribution of the disease (Epidemiology), knows the type of microorganisms causing (microbiology) ,understands the disease nature (medicine) and understands the indications and contraindication for the drugs (Pharmocology).

He applies all these after seeing a patient then come to decisionwhether to treat him conservatively Medicines)or need Operation (Surgery). So it is the knowledge off all the subjects studied in 5 yrs in allopathy will be applied to treat the patient.

How can you cutshort all these and treat the patient by learning only Pharmacology? and in One year!!! Great !!

Importantly the most abused drugs by these quacks are steroids and antibiotics.Does these ministers are concerned about the consequence of the public health with this?

To prescribe one antibiotic in UK , you have a system and protocol. The higher antibiotics given to the patients is one of the main reason for having many drugs resistance organisms in India.

Whereas the same drugs are choosen carefully by the allopathy doctor but infrequently compelled to presribed to compete with the local quacks.

Does Health minister knows all these? Why cant they encourage the practice of other medicines in rural instead of blaming allopathy doctors ..The reason of giving a rural reason is a shitt..

He takes Money from association of the all the alternative medicine, amend the law and allow those people to practice allopathy.They know that they can make easy bucks.. These things can happen only in India.

Actually, SGH and NUH charges are not that high, compared to private hospitals in Spore.....

Wipples is a pretty old and standard operation, and is performed frequently in many msian hospitals, especially those with hbp units....

However, people will always look to a more 'advanced' country for 'better' care....indonesians come to msia, msians go to spore, and sporeans go to oz/us....

Doubts over ‘army doc’

MAJOR Chinese dailies have published doubts from the public over the medical qualifications of a 26-year-old man who claimed to be a military doctor, serving in war-torn countries.

Sin Chew Daily reported that Winson Seow has said in past media interviews that he graduated from Peking University Health Science Centre, King's College London and The Royal College of Surgeons of England.

India's med course is much expensive compared to the local private Us, is that correct?

...Dr Lim died at 5.13pm on Saturday, leaving behind his wife Toh Puan Wong Yoon Chuan and three children. He was 73.

Si Pin said he and his family were in Hong Kong on a holiday when he got a call from his father to return home.

“He was supposed to join us on the trip, but he pulled out when he started having problems with his leg. He had been ill for a year and was hospitalised on Friday with breathing difficulties,” he added.

Si Pin said Dr Lim requested to be moved back home from the hospital as “he wanted to pass away in his own house”.

When asked what was his father's last words to the family, Si Pin replied: “Live life and go on...now you don't have to stay three feet from me.”...

This is sort of a dumb question, any particular sort of malignancies that normally presents with VTE/DIC? Was thinking of haemato malignancies? or solids have equal chances?
