We can see that medical training in Malaysia is highly standardised and well regulated. Their specialist training is very systematic. They bring us new perspectives.
They also learn from the many complex cases that we see in China, and from a wide range of clinical presentations. This kind of exchange can help us learn from one another, and support more detailed medical research and the sharing of knowledge.
