POEA says 'less than 400 slots' available for health care workers overseas

MANILA - The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration on Wednesday said there are now “less than 400” slots left for health care workers who want to work overseas.

But the COVID-19 pandemic has also kicked in an appetite for health care workers, with the United Kingdom now being the top destination for health workers, followed by Germany, United States, and Singapore. “Dati na silang nakaka-experience ng labor shortage, aggravated by the fact of the pandemic, yung mga nagtatrabaho siguro sa UK, nakakita ng mas maraming opportunities sa ibang European countries," Olalia added.“Kinakailangan ulit na magkaroon ng bagong polisiya kung tayo ba ay mag-e-extend, magdadagdag ng cap, mag-e-expand ng coverage. May rekomendasyon na ang IATF, aantabay na po ang POEA,” he said.

“Di nangangahulugan na papabayaan natin ang ating sariling pangangailangan, na yung mga less experienced ang makikita sa ating bansa at ang more experienced ang ating ipapadala,” Olalia said.
