Immigrant German nurse

Since 20 19, the COVID-19 epidemic has affected the whole world for three years. In the past three years, the front-line medical staff are what we admire most, and they also work the most. However, it is precisely because of the particularity of this job, and now it is in the epidemic period, many front-line medical staff feel physically and mentally exhausted, and many nurses choose to leave their jobs because of unbearable working hours and wages, which has caused serious short-term troubles to many nurses.

Now, with the reopening of borders, many countries are trying to attract foreign nurses or other medical personnel to their own countries by speeding up visa processing and raising wages, thus contributing to the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic. Even when there is no epidemic, there are vacancies for medical staff and nurses in the world. But after an epidemic, the gap of nurses will become bigger and bigger in the future. It can be said that the current supply of nurses and the demand for medical care have constituted an unequal state.

With the shortage of nurses, many countries are now competing for nurses in the Philippines, so why do nurses in the Philippines become hot?

The Philippines has always been the largest source country of professional nurses. Filipinos who originally studied medicine could not earn enough money at home, so they first obtained the qualification of nurses and went abroad to work as nurses. After earning money, they continue to receive training for foreign doctors' qualification certificates.

Therefore, there is a surplus of nurses in the Philippines, and with the help and support of the government, nurses are constantly exported to the world. Therefore, if countries want to fill the vacancy where nurses leave because of the epidemic, then the Philippines has become the first choice. Up to now, Germany, Singapore, India and Britain are recruiting a large number of foreign medical staff.

Besides, is it an experience population? Aging? There is a great demand for nurses in developed countries. In western countries, the number of people aged 60 and over is slowly surpassing that of young people. The elderly need nursing, but the number of nurses trained in western countries is far from meeting the growing demand for nurses. Therefore, many hospitals have to recruit nurses from Asia, and there is a surplus of nurses in the Philippines.
