the allied health professionals have long been underpaid for the tasks they do. GRanted, they can earn a decent amount with the shift and the like. However, volumes of patients are on the increase, and pegged to our counterparts with the same level of care provided and expertise, considering the equipment we use and all, we lag behind. Firstly, there must be more emphasis to upgrade the professions and Singapore is the only country left where the allied healths like OT, OT, RT, RG are at diploma level and A-level entry. This has stopped many from joining the profession.

 

However, like medicine, do not go in for the wrong reasons, as you might end up disappointed. there must be the passion within and seems to be less forthcoming from the current generation at that age. I remember that numbers needed to be pegged up to at least 100/yr intakes, since 2003, but to date, the annual intakes are a far cry from that. Thus, the reliance on FTs here.

 

Back to the topic, yes the salaries are bound to increase. When i started, i earned $1800, but after 1 yr, I was well earning enuf to get the decent limit for a CC. Now the entry salary for fresh grads, not much different, and modestly i would say low 2ks. this is after 20 yrs since when i graduated.

 

Vicious cycle here as equipment and land cost also add to the bill, and someones gotta foot the bill. Health economics around the world are facing this never ending problem. At the end of it all, costs are bound to increase. Question is how much, really

 

Frankly, the local health care personnel are underpaid compared to other professions in different field.

 

A diploma nurse after working 10 years in hospital may only drawing a salary of less than $3K per month. Need to work shifts, clean shit, bath patients, kanna F by patient relatives,..etc. Tats why not many local nurses in our hospital.

 

All imported from neighbouring countries, pay them $2.5K they are happy enough and after the bonds they jus jump ship to US, Aus or UK. Else some from China, give them PR or convert them into citizen. Local nurses are kanna squeezed. Salary not high not low.

 

Of cos I know need passion to work in health care industry; not jus the pay. Bo lui bo pian.
