President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. described the Philippines as a victim of its own success amid the shortage of healthcare workers, many of whom went abroad in search for better paying jobs. | JMangaluzINQ
“One of the things our Department of Health has come up with is that we are coming to an arrangement with countries who will accept Filipino healthcare workers to at the same time train the equivalent number of healthcare workers that will stay in the Philippines,” he said.
“We are trying to accelerate the board examinations of nurses so we can actually put out more. So that’s the adjustment that we are trying to make. So it’s not only in the facilities, it’s also in the training. We are very proud of them but we wish they’d stay home,” said Marcos. Marcos told the BENS that the Philippines had amended laws to make investment more attractive in the Philippines.
