Patients to shoulder costs as Raffles raises nurses’ base salaries by 5-20%

Plus an annual nurse special payment.

In Aug this year, Singapore’s Minister for Health Mr. Gan Kim Yong highlighted that nurses in public healthcare and MOH-subvented Intermediate and Long Term Care institutions will receive a 5-20% increase in their monthly base salaries in two stages in 2014 and 2015.

Moreover, a new annual Nurse Special Payment of half a month’s pay will be introduced with effect from Dec this year.
RMG updated OCBC that it will also raise the wages of its nurses to stay competitive, but intends to pass on some of these costs to its patients.

Recently, Raffles reported solid financials with a 9% profit growth YoY due to a general increase in patient load and higher in-patient admission.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
