SALARY INCREASES OF UP TO 7% FOR 63,000 STAFF IN PUBLIC HEALTHCARE CLUSTERS FROM 1 JULY 2025

               From 1 July 2025, 37,000 allied health professionals (AHPs), pharmacists, and administrative, ancillary and support (AAS) staff will receive increases of up to 7% to their monthly base salaries.

2.               This follows the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) announcement on 29 January 2025 that 37,000 AHPs, pharmacists and AAS staff can expect salary increases by the middle of the year.  

3.                In addition, 26,000 public healthcare nurses will benefit from adjustments of up to 4% to their monthly base salaries, to keep pace with market trends. These adjustments are on top of the recent introduction of the Award for Nurses' Grace, Excellence and Loyalty (ANGEL) scheme in September 2024, which was launched to attract and encourage nurses to build a lifelong career in nursing.

4.               Healthcare staff 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.

5.               Our healthcare workers are the driving force behind good care. Such salary reviews are conducted regularly to ensure salaries are competitive relative to the market.  Beyond remuneration, we will continue to review our manpower development initiatives and improve opportunities for our healthcare workers through job redesign and career development.
