Rahayu Mahzam on length of service of foreign nurses in restructured hospitals
The length of service of foreign nurses in restructured hospitals has increased over the years. Between between 2014 and 2021, the median increased from five to eight years, while the average increased from seven to 10 years. The actual median and average figures should be higher as the existing data does not take into account nurses who switched hospitals but remained in the public heathcare sector. Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Health Rahayu Mahzam shared these statistics in reply to an MP's questions in Parliament on Wednesday (Nov 9).
