KOTA KINABALU: Sabah will support its students who are interested in pursuing a career in healthcare, says Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

The Sabah Chief Minister said that the state would provide scholarships and study loans to young Sabahans who want to take up medical courses at institutions of higher learning.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin in his speech earlier had sought help from the Sabah government to stir interest among young Sabahans to become health practitioners."And only 42 Federal Government-sponsored scholarships were given to Sabahan students who wanted to become specialist doctors, which represents less than 5% of the overall applications," he said, adding there must be more promotional efforts from the state to attract youth to the profession.

Hajiji also said the state government, together with its strategic partners, will continue supporting the implementation of the ANMS in Sabah. The Chief Minister said the implementation of the ANMS was seen to be in line with the Sabah Maju Jaya state development plan.
