6,724 health officers promoted, including to acting positions

On October 13, the Malaysian health ministry announced the promotion of 6,724 officers across various service schemes. This decision, made by the public service promotion board, aimed to enhance career advancement opportunities for these personnel. The ministry highlighted these promotions as a reflection of their ongoing commitment to maintaining smooth operations and effective healthcare service delivery.

The board also introduced new excellence-based promotion criteria for officers in the teaching service scheme, allowing them to advance in rank even without vacant positions. This move further underscored the ministry's dedication to recognizing the hard work and dedication of its employees.

In a separate tribute, the ministry honored four officers from the Flying Doctor Service who tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash in Sarawak on September 8. All four were posthumously promoted in recognition of their unwavering service and dedication to their duties.
