German Language a Must for Pinoy Nurses

Filipino nurses who plan to seek work in Germany must learn the German language first.

In an interview on Friday, Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said Filipino nurses should  familiarize themselves with the German language and German culture first if they plan to work there.

"They (German officials) are the ones who came to us, and the EU knows our concern about brain drain and based on our official statements, we have an oversupply of nurses here and the EU is now preparing for more demand [for health care workers]  so Germany now wants to recruit Filipino nurses," she said.

However, a Filipino nurse must have German "language proficiency and cultural [awareness]"  as these are  among the requirements for employment.

Japan has also imposed the same requirement in hiring Filipino nurses.
Baldoz added that the DOLE and its German counterpart are still finalizing the text of the agreement regarding the hiring of Filipino nurses in Germany and that the agreement is expected to be signed Tuesday, March 19.
