If you have a good internet and a regular PDF reader app on your mobile device, but still cannot open the certificate, do try to open your email on a computer desktop/laptop.

MMA CPD system has been successfully integrated with the MyCPD system effective January 2021 onwards. Therefore, CPD Points captured via MMA mobile app will be transferred to the MyCPD system automatically. Kindly take note that this point integration is for government doctors only.

Once the attendance has been recorded, doctors shall log in to the MMA mobile app and check under Cumulative CPD section - "points sent to MyCPD". (Refer to the image above)

In case doctors have any problem with MyCPD points (ie, CPD points captured are not reflected in the MyCPD system), doctors may contact the MyCPD person in-charge at 03-88831457 or email to mycpd@moh.gov.my for assistance.
