Wednesday, September 21 2005: Stop exodus of nurses, doctors, WHO urges Philippines:"News affecting OFW's. The country will continue to lose its doctors and nurses to higher-paying jobs abroad unless a wide-ranging solution is drawn up soon, a top World Health Organization (WHO) official said Monday. In the next 15 years, the United States will be opening its doors to around one million nurses and this would attract local health professionals, Dr. Jean Marc Olive, WHO country representative in the Philippines, said.
Canada and Europe, already a favorite destination for Filipino nurses, are also expected to need "hundreds of thousands" of nurses to fill vacancies in their respective health care systems, Olive said."

2/20/2005: Hopes rise for Pinoy nurses seeking employment in US:"There is hope for thousands of Filipino nurses whose visa applications to work in the United States have been frozen.
Two Democrats in the US House of Representatives have filed bills seeking to make it easier for Filipino nurses to enter the US while the Philippine embassy in Washington is lobbying strongly for their passage.
The embassy on Friday unveiled what it said was a three-pronged strategy to promote the continued deployment of Filipino nurses to the US.
It said it would make official representations with the State Department to stress that since the US has an acute need for nurses that the Philippines can readily supply, both governments can pursue a "win-win" solution to the problem."
