Call for restructuring of nurses’ salaries


I WAS compelled to respond to a news article about Malaysian nurses in the South China Morning Post titled “Malaysian nurses seek better pay overseas: ‘migrate while you can’.”

The article published online on Nov 25, 2024 began with the statement that “Malaysia is witnessing an exodus of nurses to overseas jobs paying three or four times the starting salary at home, prompting warnings that low wages and poor conditions are hollowing out essential healthcare services”.
