In the absence of qualified medical staff, people will be left to the mercy of quacks and inexperienced personnel.

The rift in the Emirates Medical Association continues and its general assembly has not met to address itself to the task of emiratisation.

Apart from the issue of postponement in holding the association's general assembly, citizens and doctors should exert more efforts to emiratise the medical jobs with aim of dispensing with services of some non-local quack doctors and inexperienced ones.

The Emirati doctor will plug the shortage of medical staff in the far-flung areas much more than others. His goal will not be mere profiteering by asking the patient to go through unnecessary lab tests.

The board of directors of the association which has taken the decision on postponing the general assembly should keep in touch with all the members and strive to hold the much needed meeting as soon as possible in order to solve the problem.
