1 The starting salaries for graduates on Ministry of Health Holdings (MOHH) scholarships are standardised within a range across the public healthcare institutions. The public healthcare institutions will determine the exact starting salary for each MOHH scholar within the range, based on factors such as their level of qualification and relevant working experience.
