MANILA, Philippines - A leading hospital in Bangladesh will be hiring Filipino nurses to work at their facility in the country’s capital, Dhaka, the Philippine Embassy in Dhaka reported.
Brig. Gen.(Retd) Shahidul Islam and Dr. Salahuddin Ahmed, Director of Operation and Administration, and Chief Coordinator for Development, respectively, of the United Hospital, informed Philippine Ambassador to Bangladesh Bahnarim A. Guinomla, at a courtesy call at the Embassy, that the recruitment of Filipino medical workers is in progress, especially the documentation requirements.
Dr. Ahmed visited the Philippines recently to start interviewing applicants in Manila.
Ambassador Guinomla described the move of the hospital as a ground-breaking development, as most Filipino nurses work in more developed markets; and that Bangladesh itself sends workers overseas.
The ambassador thanked both Brig. Gen. Islam and Dr. Ahmed for their confidence in the widely-proven skills and reliability of Filipino medical workers.
The hospital plans to assign the successful applicants to the so-called critical areas including emergencies and intensive care cases or the so-called Basic Life Support (BLS) work.
In a letter to Guinomla, Managing Director Faridur Rahman Khan described United Hospital as a multi-disciplinary hospital providing services to both local and foreign patients, especially those from the diplomatic area in Dhaka, since its inception in August 2006.source: interaksyon.com
