ABOUT US
The government's initiative in providing quality and safe medical services for the country is by establishing the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) through a Parliamentary Act approved on September 27, 1971, and gazetted on September 30, 1971.
The Malaysian Cabinet approved the MPM to function as a federal statutory body as provided under Section 3 of the Medical Act 1971 on May 9, 2007.
MPM was subsequently gazetted as a statutory body on July 1, 2017, after amendments were made to the Medical Act 1971 in 2012, replacing the Medical Regulations 1974 with the Medical Regulations 2017.
