MASTER PROGRAM FOR MEDICAL OFFICER AND SUB SPECIALIZATION TRAINING
In 2009, Public Service Department (JPA) had delegated the authority to MoH for approval of ‘paid study
leave’ for long-term courses such as Masters and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) training. This shortened
the processing time and increased the efficiency in managing the grant of study leave to the staff. A
number of 980 medical officers were granted a scholarship by the Federal Government to undergo
Masters Training Programme of medicine in various fields for 2017, as shown in Table 8 below. The
number of Medical Officers granted with scholarship increased by 10 per cent in 2017 compared to
2016 with 890 Medical Officers.
