China-trained doctors in limbo

WESTERN BUREAU: Several Jamaican doctors, who got their training in China, are alleging that they cannot secure placements here in Jamaica for their internships despite making multiple applications. To compound their frustration, they said efforts to get Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton to intervene on their behalf have been unsuccessful. The frustrated interns, who are now facing financial and professional distress, are of the view that the local health system has failed them.
