MELAKA: Twenty two unions under the Health Ministry have expressed their wholehearted support and approval for the ministry's current direction, stressing the importance of an efficient and high-quality service delivery system.

In a joint statement issued by the Joint Council of Presidents and secretary-generals of the Health Ministry Workers' Union (MAPSU) following a convention held last week in Melaka, the unions pledged their full backing for the ministry's efforts.

Newly-elected MAPSU president Ajulahin Japin highlighted the alignment of their decision with the Madani government concept championed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said the ministry, led by Dr Zaliha Mustafa, emphasised on continuous consultation and engagement sessions with ministry employees, particularly those responsible for policy implementation.

"Fostering a harmonious relationship between employers and workers is essential for ensuring an efficient and high-quality service system," he said.

The convention, held on July 26 and 27, saw the participation of 52 presidents and secretary-generals of various workers' unions, along with the top management of the ministry.

The event was inaugurated by Health Ministry deputy secretary-general (Finance) Datuk Seri Norazman Ayob.

MAPSU represented nearly 80,000 Health Ministry employees across 22 unions, and the union hoped that the ministry's top management will give greater attention to all service schemes under the ministry.

Ajulahin also praised the ministry's proactive approach to addressing welfare issues and its openness to suggestions put forth by the union, fostering a collaborative effort in line with the aspirations of the people.

The union acknowledged the challenges faced by the Health Ministry, with its 119 employment schemes, and pledged to address these issues.

Additionally, MAPSU appreciated Health Ministry's willingness to engage directly with workers at the grassroots level.
