Minister of Health and Family Dr Aminath Jameel has said employees of regional hospitals, health centres and health posts have been misusing overtime allowances, reports Haveeru.
Dr Aminath said the ministry was taking action to prevent health employees from abusing overtime allowances.
She said the employees’ claims of overtime was “out of bounds” and the ministry will be monitoring the matter.
Dr Aminath said the ministry was trying to reduce the number of expatriate workers in the health sector, as this would solve the differences in salaries between local and foreign staff.
