About 13 years ago, Mdm Hadijah began her career in the healthcare sector. As she carried out her duties as a healthcare assistant at the Institute of Mental Health, her supervisor began to notice the potential Mdm Hadijah had, and encouraged her to upgrade herself by registering in courses to enable her to become an enrolled nurse. Ever since then, Mdm Hadijah has received many accolades and recognition such as the Humanitarian Healthcare award in 2012, the IMH Star Award in 2016, and the Tan Chin Tuan Nursing Award, with merit, last week.
