The Ministry of Health amended the ‘nature of work’ allowance for the Kuwaiti and expatriate nursing staff in public hospitals and health centers in order to motivate the nurses to improve their performance at work and to make the profession ‘attractive’.
According to Al-Anba daily report, the ‘nature of work’ allowance amendment includes abolishing category C and those under it are transferred to category B, in addition to transferring some from category B to category A.
The allowance increment ranges from KD 30 to KD 50, depending on the category and job title.
The ministry is currently finalizing the amendment of the allowance in its financial and administrative systems to pave the way for disbursement.
