each when the hospital could not source the clinical demand of adequately skilled surgeons and a surgeon named Dr. A was hired under the section 135 of Queensland under Medical Practitioners Registration Act 2001 (QLD) that allows the overseas hiring under certain conditions such as during ‘areas of need’. Between the period of his appointment and departure doctor saw more than 1400 cases related to operation, renal unit, infection control unit (ICU) and many more.
