Hospital social work in Malaysia holds an important position compared with other areas of social work. Alliances with medicine are pro.table in raising the pro.le of the profession. But the lack of community services, medical hierarchy and staff shortages militate against further regional development of the social work role.

French

En malaisie, le travail social hospitalier occupe une place importante comparativement à d'autres domaines du travail social. Les alliances qui s'é tablissent avec le secteur mé dical permettent de rehausser le profil de la profession, toutefois le manque de services communautaires, la hié rarchie au sein du systè me mé dical et le manque de personnel sont autant de facteurs qui restreignent le dé veloppement du rô le du travail social en ré gion.

El trabajo social hospitalario en Malasia tiene una posición importante, comparado con otras á reas de trabajo social. Las alianzas con la medicina resultan provechosas para aumentar la notoriedad de la profesión, sin embargo la falta de servicios comunitarios, la jerarquí a mé dica, y la escasez de personal militan en contra de un mayor desarrollo regional del papel del trabajo social.
