Before considering a career as a physiotherapist in the Ministry of Health (MOH), we need to think long and hard about it first. The career path for a physiotherapist in the MOH is limited, meaning that there may not be opportunities for promotion or upward mobility.
Furthermore, the job is not time-based, which means that physiotherapists are not compensated based on the amount of time they have worked.
If you join as a diploma holder, you will not get many chances to be automatically upgraded to U41 due to very limited posts, even after you have obtained a bachelor’s or master’s degree. Physiotherapists do not get allowances like the other health workers do, but we are expected to put in the same level of dedication.
Considering the potential drawbacks of a career path with limited upward mobility is important, particularly if you are interested in pursuing long-term career growth and development.
While there may be benefits to a stable and predictable job, it is possible that this type of role could become monotonous or unfulfilling over time.
If you are considering a career in this field, it may be helpful to research the specific job and organization in question to gain a better understanding of the potential opportunities and challenges.
Additionally, it is important to think about your long-term career goals, and how this job might fit into your overall career plan. Ultimately, the decision of whether to pursue this job or not will depend on your individual priorities and career aspirations.
