KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry has approved full relocation allowances for medical officers posted to Sabah and Sarawak to support their welfare and facilitate cross-regional placements.
In a statement today, the ministry said the approval was among its strategic initiatives to ensure financial constraints no longer burden health workers receiving postings across regions.
"The government is deeply concerned about the financial challenges faced by health workers.
"With the approval of the Finance Ministry and Public Service Department (PSD), the issue of relocation cost claims has been fully resolved, beginning with the 2025 permanent appointment cohort.
"The Health Ministry has also secured approval for the same benefit to continue for 2026 appointments and beyond," it said.
