SINGAPORE - Some 37,000 public healthcare workers can expect salary increases in 2025, as part of efforts to attract and retain staff in these three groups.
Minister for Health Ong Ye Kung said the exercise was overdue, noting that similar adjustments have been made for other public healthcare professionals.
MOH said demand for healthcare services and manpower will continue to increase as the population ages. These adjustments will be smaller, as they build on the Award for Nurses' Grace, Excellence and Loyalty scheme introduced in 2024. Mr Ong said the exercise was overdue, noting that similar adjustments have been made for other public healthcare professionals.
Prof Tan, who is chief allied health professional for SingHealth and SingHealth Community Hospitals, described the wage adjustments as recognition of the vital role such professionals play in the healthcare sector.
