KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry will open offers to pursue studies at the Master's degree, area of special interest (AOSI) and doctor of philosophy (PhD) to the ministry's permanent and contract officers, beginning Jan 28. Its secretary-general, Datuk Seri Mohd Shafiq Abdullah, said the offer would be opened to the ministry’s permanent management and professional group officers as well as contract medical and dental officers. He said officers who meet the requirements can apply through the Health Ministry's e-HLP system at http://ehlp.moh.gov.my. Mohd Syafiq said the move was in line with the government’s decision on July 14 for the Health Ministry, together with other ministries and central agencies, to formulate a comprehensive and inclusive career pathway for contract medical and dental officers. "The Health Ministry expresses its appreciation to the Ministry of Finance, the Public Service Department and the Ministry of Higher Education who, together, realised the government's intention to give new offers to contract medical and dental officers at the ministry," he added.
