The Maldives Health Ministry Sunday announced a 15 percent pay bump for nurses as part of a new framework for the profession.
In a statement, a copy of which has been seen by the Maldives Independent, the ministry said the framework was to help nurses pursue further education and training through appraisals.
Nurses at publicly owned hospitals and health centres will be appraised every two years based on educational qualifications and performance.
“This framework will empower nurses to pursue further education and training opportunities and the implementation of this framework will raise the average nursing salary by 15 percent,” said the statement.
