                                            Private hospitals in Malaysia are considering the recruitment of foreign-educated nurses from India and the Philippines as a temporary measure to combat staffing shortages. Many hospitals have high attrition rates of nurses due to dissatisfaction and "dehumanizing" work environments.
                                        
Nurses find themselves treated as subordinate to physicians, expected to execute orders without the opportunity to apply critical thinking skills. This results in a dehumanising experience – nurses function more like robots than health care professionals.
