Specialist Doctor Education: Investment in Human Resources for Nation's Future

It is time for the medical-education system, especially specialist doctors, to be reformed in this country. It has been far too long that this protracted situation has been taken for granted.

A good healthcare system in a country requires adequate health-service infrastructure, in addition to the procurement of well-grounded human resources.

The education of doctors and specialists is crucial because the procurement of doctors or specialists is not instantaneous, but a time and money-consuming effort. It takes at least six years to produce a doctor, while to become a specialist in various fields of expertise takes an additional four to five years.
