The minister, however, expressed the government's commitment to improving the welfare and wages of doctors, nurses and other health workers in the country. “We appreciate them. There are few who chose to go abroad for training. We’ve approved for some of them to go to other places to be trained. We expect that when they train, they will come back home. “We are expanding the training of those who are around and improving the working conditions.
“In the context of the wage review that is ongoing in the country, of course with the Salary Incomes and Wages Commission, we have made submissions to have some adjustment of the remuneration of the health workforce,” he said. The minister’s comment comes hours after the Federal Executive Council, FEC, stepped down a minimum wage review memo to allow for more consultations.
