Malaysian students taking medicine programme in Havana, the capital city of Cuba, are now facing uncertainty as their degrees are not recognised by the Malaysian government.

The Malaysian government's weak monitoring of foreign medical schools and the absence of a common licensing exam is causing a lot of hassle for these fresh medical graduates.[/caption]
The first batch of Malaysian students (four) who were sent in 2007 are now back in the country and are now advised to undergo a six-month programme in local universities, and to sit for the Medical Licensing Examination (MLE). The programme costs RM25,000.
MLE is an examination that students of unrecognised foreign medical schools need to sit for and pass before being accepted for registration.
The downside is that there is no guarantee that the local universities will accept these students.
Parents of these medical graduates wish to have the red tape removed and allow these students, who spent 7 years in medical school, to take the MLE.
According to the Cuban Government, the Malaysian Public Services Department (PSD) as well as the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) team visited Havana in April 2006 to evaluate four medical universities. They were advised to re-apply. To date, there has been no confirmation made about their recognition.
Medical schools in Havana are recognise in the UK, US and Canada. Currently, there are 21 students, in various stages of their studies, still in Cuba.
