SINGAPORE: About 63,000 public healthcare workers in Singapore will see their salaries increase by up to 7 per cent later this year, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Thursday (Mar 27).
From Jul 1, 37,000 allied health professionals, pharmacists, and administrative, ancillary and support staff will receive increases of up to 7 per cent to their monthly base salaries, MOH said in a media release.
Additionally, 26,000 public healthcare nurses will have their monthly base salaries raised by up to 4 per cent. This is to "keep pace with market trends", MOH said.
"These adjustments are on top of the recent introduction of the Award for Nurses' Grace, Excellence and Loyalty scheme in September 2024," MOH said.
The pay increments were announced by Health Minister Ong Ye Kung earlier this year.
MOH added that healthcare employees "will continue to receive annual salary increments, which aim to keep salaries in pace with inflation".
"With these salary increases, which are over and above the annual increments, we will enable the public healthcare sector to better attract and retain staff," the ministry said.
