PUTRAJAYA, Oct 17 — A total of 6,724 officers from various service schemes under the Ministry of Health (MOH) have been approved for acting appointments and promotions to the Senior Management Service (JUSA) and Grades 10 to 15.

The approvals were granted by the Public Service Promotion Board (LKPPA) on October 13, according to a statement issued today.

The move reflects the ministry’s continued efforts to recognise officers’ commitment, dedication and achievements in ensuring smooth operations and effective healthcare service delivery.

In line with improvements to career progression under the Public Service Remuneration System (SSPA), the board also approved excellence-based promotion criteria for officers under MOH’s teaching service scheme, allowing them to be promoted without a vacant post.
