Rahayu Mahzam on career support for public sector healthcare workers
The Ministry of Health actively works with the public healthcare clusters and community care organisations to ensure that they are able to recruit and retain sufficient staff to meet their needs. These include ensuring competitive salaries, career development opportunities and safe working environments. For administrative and support healthcare workers, they pay special attention to redesign their roles to provide more career and progression opportunities. Minister of State for Health Rahayu Mahzam, who said this in reply to an MP’s question in Parliament on Wednesday (Oct 16), highlighted the efforts to expand the roles of staff in administrative and operational tasks. This is being rolled out with training support available to enable staff to take up the expanded roles.
