Riyadh, June 5 (IANS): Saudi Arabia's health ministry has recruited 1,800 Indian nurses to work in various government hospitals, a media report said.

The new nurses would assume their duties within a month after completing their recruitment procedures, the Saudi Gazette quoted Ilham Sindi, director of the ministry’s nursing department, as telling the Makkah daily Wednesday.

The nurses would be coming from India on a renewable contract of one year. Three hundred more would come from the Philippines, Sindi said. 

The nurses, with graduate and postgraduate degrees, have been recruited for being "highly qualified and experienced".

Sindi said the new nurses would be a real asset to the ministry’s medical cadres and would fill vacancies in a number of government hospitals. 

"There will be no shortage of nurses any more," she added.

Sindi, a member of the selection committee that recently visited New Delhi and Manila, said more nurses from the two countries would be contracted if there was need for them, the report said.

    This recruitment of nurses is beneficial to the employer as well as employees.

    The employers could do little better by allocating free money/grants/funds to nursing colleges in India to get quality education, and thereafter recruit these students to their facilities. Such free-ship/ money will help merited, deserving, students and they need not seek huge loans for their education at 10% plus interest. A qualifying process can be adapted by the employer and the state governments so that students will have easy access to the education specially in in health science and a fair system can be established. Presently many new graduates are loaded with college loans as they come out of college.
