Finland Hiring Nurses, Healthcare Workers From Philippines

Windsor Genova - AHN Writer

Manila, Philippines (AHN) - Finland is hiring Filipino nurses, caregivers and healthcare workers starting next year.

The TV network reported that the Philippines' ambassador to Finland, Zeneida Angara Collinson, said companies in the Scandinavian country are planning to hire 100 nurses in 2008 and another hundred in 2009.

Collinson also told the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila that she had asked the Helsinki Region Chamber of Commerce to tie up with the health and wellness industry in the Philippines.

The ambassador noted that there is a demand for foreign nurses and healthcare workers in Finland because the country has a rapidly ageing population.

Most Filipino workers in Finland are in the shipping industry.
