Deputy Health Minister Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashin announced that dental graduates will only have to serve the Ministry of Health for two years and not three.
The shorter stint was approved by the Malaysian Dental Council on 29 February 2012.
In 2011, 415 graduates registered with the Malaysian Dental Council.
She also says that the ministry continues to require dental grads, especially with the new facilities and upgrades of existing ones.
