While many countries continue to face a significant nursing shortage, there is also a growing recruitment and integration crisis affecting internationally educated nurses (IENs). Addressing workforce challenges requires more than recruitment alone- it calls for sustainable, ethical, and evidence-based approaches that support both healthcare systems and the nurses who strengthen them.

For the past eight years, the Filipino Nurses Association in the Nordic Region (FiNAN) has stood as a strong and credible platform for Filipino nurses who have faced oppression, exploitation, and marginalization across Nordic countries. Established out of a shared need for representation and protection, FiNAN has become a collective voice for nurses navigating unfamiliar systems, unequal working conditions, and complex regulatory barriers.

Basahin ang kritikal na opinyon ng ating tagapangulo.

Ang kalusugan ba sa Pilipinas ay para lamang sa mayayaman? Ano ang lugar ng mga mahihirap at walang kakayahang pinansyal sa sistemang ito? Paano ang mga pasyente at ang kanilang mga pamilya na gustong lumaban para sa buhay ngunit salat sa suporta? Ito nga ba ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit maraming Pilipino ang pinipiling huwag nang bumalik sa Pilipinas?

Ang pagiging healthcare worker ay hindi simpleng trabaho lamang. Ito ay isang propesyon na may kaakibat na panunumpa, lisensyang ibinigay ng estado, at tiwala ng publiko sa Pilpinas.
