Alhamdulillah, I already passed my medicine exam today and I feel so 'free' to study for my next postings exam in Neurology and O&G. Today's morning as usual with exam syndrome - NV!
The MMA made the call a few years back and then the DG was quoted to say:
…the policy of requiring doctors to wear their white coats, shirts and neckties would not change unless there was a “body of evidence” which proved that neckties caused infections to spread. It is a long established policy that we have had since Merdeka. Doctors must maintain their dignity and dress properly,” he said.
We discovered that more than half (52%) of neckties worn by doctors were contaminated with Staphylococcus and out of these, 62% of them were identified as MRSA. In contrast, none of the student’s ties were contaminated with MRSA. Due to the high prevalence of staphylococcus detected on doctors’ neckties, we recommend that health care workers do not wear neckties.
