Officials in the Philippines are trying to find ways to make their own health-care system sustainable, even as international recruitment delegations come knocking.

Rhea Patulay says she has seen the lack of nurses in the Philippines first-hand while caring for her husband in hospital. The Philippines has traditionally trained more nurses than it needs, but since the pandemic, health officials say recruiting from Western countries has led to a severe shortage.

The Philippines has traditionally trained more nurses than it needs, knowing they will work internationally and send money back home to support their families. Government officials, hospital administrators and nursing advocates in the Philippines are trying to find ways to make their own health-care system sustainable, even as recruitment delegations — including from Canada — come knocking.The Manitoba government said it offered letters of intent to nearly 190 registered nurses, 50 people who are the equivalent of licensed practical nurses and 110 health-care aides.

Experienced nurses are being attracted by the "huge pay offer and compensation," he said, noting that the pay is at least double in Canada. "So I think this is alarming. If this will continue, it will continue to increase these cases and we cannot prevent them."Not to mention the strain and increased workload on those nurses left behind, caring for more patients than is considered safe, Miranda said.

Filipino nurses say they are torn between duty to their country and the much larger paycheques and opportunities that working overseas can provide. "That is my ambition. No matter how hard, I will take the risk, for my family and career advantage as well." Reyes, originally from the Philippines, said the delegation's goal was to recruit 350 Filipino nurses through an expedited pathway in the next two years.
