Standardisation of Starting Salary for MOH Scholars Across All Its Healthcare Clusters

5 Er Dr Lee Bee Wah asked the Minister for Health (a) whether the starting salary for the Ministry's scholars is standardised across all its healthcare clusters; (b) if not, why is that so; and (c) what are the reasons for the salary discrepancy.

Mr Gan Kim Yong: The starting salaries for graduates on Ministry of Health Holdings (MOHH) scholarships are standardised within a range across the public healthcare institutions. The public healthcare institutions will determine the exact starting salary for each MOHH scholar within the range, based on factors, such as their level of qualification and relevant working experience.
