"But only 60 will be selected as only three public universities in the country - Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Malaya and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia - are offering the course," he added.

Currently, there are only 300 emergency medicine specialists available nationwide.

"As such, I hope more local public and private universities in the country can offer such a course to enable us to achieve the target of having at least 900 emergency medicine specialists," he said.
