The Department of Health (DOH) announced yesterday that
10,000 nurses and 3,000 midwives will be deployed next month to the various
provinces in the Philippines to augment the inadequate nursing workforce in DOH
hospitals and other health facilities of local government units.
According to the report, the government deployed the first
batch of 10,000 nurses last year and another batch of 11,500 nurses and 1,000
midwives last November.
This year 2012, the recruitment of 10,000 nurses and 3,000
midwives is already ongoing and is expected to be completed by the end of the
month.
“The recruitment and selection shall be done by the
respective Center for Health Development (CMDs) to be completed by February,”
the DOH said.
Under the RN Heals 3 program, newly hired nurses and
midwives shall undergo general orientation scheduled on the first week of March
before the actual deployment.
Those who were previously hired under the same program and
rendered satisfactory services until the end of their contract next week can
re-apply. (Nursingcrib.com)
