President Dr Mohamed Muizzu, upon his Cabinet's recommendation, has decided to formulate a special policy to facilitate the return of nurses and other health workers who have been out of service due to various reasons. The decision was made following deliberations on a paper submitted by the Ministry of Health during Sunday's Cabinet meeting.
This initiative entails the facilitation of the return of nurses and other health professionals to the service based on available positions. This is facilitated via a specific programme allowing for a quick recruitment procedure as opposed to the general policy of offering employment to employees. The President further decided that people who desire to work fewer than eight hours a day will be able to do so within the established standards of the civil service by setting a salary based on their working hours.
The President additionally decided to assist individuals aged 55 and over or retired who are not registered in the registry set up to facilitate the recruitment of out-of-service healthcare workers who are qualified in terms of health, education, experience, skill, and availability of positions in the administrative structure.
