THE health-care sector is going on a year-end recruitment drive to fill 1,500 positions at two new hospitals by March next year.

Wanted: people from doctors to nurses and occupational therapists.

Some 600 of the jobs are available at the 550-bed Khoo Teck Puat Hospital which opens in Yishun in March next year.

The core team for the new hospital will come from Alexandra Hospital (AH).

Ms Fatimah Moideen Kutty, AH's deputy director of human resource, said part of its recruitment strategy has been to target residents in the north.

In the last two years, it managed to hire about 300 people in Yishun.

Our health care sector here is doing well. I read that training will also be made available for various healthcare positions like healthcare assistants and pharmacy technicians etc.
