Revolutionizing Healthcare Careers: Unveiling MOH’s Secret to Better Pay and Opportunities

The Ministry of Health (MOH) appreciates the input from Ms. Liu Shu Fen regarding the extension of retention programs to encompass healthcare professionals beyond nurses, with a focus on enhancing pay and career opportunities. MOH acknowledges the essential role played by all healthcare workers and highlights its ongoing efforts to elevate salaries across various healthcare sectors in recent years.

While nurses constitute a significant portion of Singapore’s healthcare workforce, MOH understands the imperative to bolster the nursing workforce to meet the future demands posed by an aging population. The introduction of initiatives like the Award for Nurses’ Grace, Excellence, and Loyalty (ANGEL) aligns with efforts to encourage long-term commitment to the nursing profession.

However, MOH recognizes that conventional long-term retention strategies may not be feasible for smaller healthcare professions. Therefore, the emphasis for these groups is on ensuring competitive pay packages and ample opportunities for career progression. MOH pledges to collaborate closely with public healthcare clusters and community care organizations to ensure equitable terms for all healthcare professionals.

In conclusion, MOH reaffirms its commitment to addressing concerns surrounding compensation and career advancement across diverse healthcare roles, tailored to the specific needs of each group.
