    "content": "Medical practitioners, pharmacists and dentists join the Civil Service as interns at job Group L, where they serve for one year, and then they are appointed as Medical Officers on Job Group M. Other cadres join at lower levels, Job Group J for general degrees, and Job Group K for other professional degrees. Thus medical practitioners, pharmacists and dentists already enjoy privileged terms in the Civil Service. Even with the salary scales, the entry point for medical practitioners, pharmacists and dentists are towards the maximum of the scale, while other cadres have to begin from the start. Within the common cadres; Job Group M to P, doctors get promoted automatically after three years, while other cadres frequently stagnate. The Public Service Commission (PSC) had previously expanded the establishment of cadres of health workers to address the problem of stagnation. Treasury has now availed funds for promotions."
