The Ministry of Health is taking significant steps to address outstanding claims for health workers, reaffirming its commitment to compensating those who have dedicated their service to the community. To date, the Ministry has already disbursed $5.9 million to established staff and government wage earners as compensation for overtime worked during the initial five months of the current financial year.
To facilitate accurate disbursement, the Ministry is actively gathering and verifying additional claims from all cost centers. This careful process aims to ensure that payments are both precise and directed to eligible personnel. Following the recent Pay 26 inputting cycle, Ministry officials have announced that remaining overtime payments are scheduled to be issued during the first and second pay periods of 2026.
The Ministry has expressed gratitude for the hard work and dedication of healthcare personnel, particularly during times of high demand. Officials are thankful for the staff’s understanding and patience throughout the claims process. This ongoing effort not only highlights the Ministry’s dedication to compensating health workers fairly but also represents a positive step in recognizing and valuing the essential contributions of these individuals to the community.
