Lawmakers unhappy that only one mainland university is on overseas doctors’ recognition list; Medical Council blasted for having a “mindset that has yet to return”
立法會去年通過修訂法例，容許指定院校畢業的非本地培訓醫生來港工作5年後，在香港註冊成為醫生。目前香港只承認約50間海外院校的課程，當中內地只得復旦大學，當局指名單考慮因素之一是課程是否以英文授課。立法會一個委員會炮轟醫委會「思想未回歸」，小組主席張宇人更點名醫委會「衰到貼地」，千方百計阻撓非本地醫生註冊，明言會盡快約見醫務衞生局局長盧寵茂「嚴厲跟進」。
The Legislative Council passed amendments to the law last year allowing non-locally trained doctors who graduated from designated institutions to work in Hong Kong for five years before registering as doctors in Hong Kong. Hong Kong currently recognises courses offered by about 50 overseas institutions, of which only Fudan University is in the mainland. The authorities said one factor considered for the list was whether the course was taught in English. A Legislative Council committee condemned the Medical Council of Hong Kong for having a “mindset that has yet to return”. The committee’s chairman, James Tien, singled out the Medical Council as being “rotten to the core” and accused it of using every means to obstruct the registration of non-locally trained doctors. He said the committee would arrange to meet Secretary for Health Lo Chung-mau as soon as possible to “follow up rigorously”.
