Putrajaya, 29 October 2026 – Malaysia’s Ministry of Health will conduct a special recruitment exercise for 750 permanent Medical Officer Grade UD10 vacancies in Sabah and Sarawak, with applications scheduled for November 9 to 15. Successful candidates are expected to report on February 15, 2027, giving the public health system a defined timetable for adding doctors in the two East Malaysian states.

For businesses and investors, the recruitment matters because medical staffing affects the reliability of hospitals, workforce mobility and the quality of regional public services. The 750 posts are a confirmed government intake, not a guarantee that every position will be filled or retained. The outcome will depend on eligibility, acceptance and the ability of facilities to provide conditions that keep doctors in Sabah and Sarawak.
