PETALING JAYA, March 15 – The Health Ministry is providing “hard and soft rewards” to retain doctors in government service, Deputy Director-General of Health (Medical) Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said.
Speaking at a symposium on “Future challenges for Healthcare in Malaysia” here, he said the ministry had implemented several incentives and rewards to encourage government doctors to remain in public service.
The incentives includes more opportunities for promotion and fast track promotions based on performance, opportunity for those who were on Employment Provident Fund scheme to opt for the pension scheme, on-call and location-based allowances and compensation for doctors who lecture in universities.
Other incentives were opportunities for further education and sabbaticals, support for research and publications through the nationwide clinical research centres, tertiary education scholarships for doctor’s children who were eligible and annual leave of 35 days and 25 days for new staff, he said.
Noor Hisham said it was hoped that, with more incentives, doctors would continue working for the government as it was “an opportunity for them to fulfil their social obligation to serve the nation”. – (Klik untuk artikel asal)
