Process Outsourcing (KPO) may saved filipino nurses from moving in another
country to find jobs by giving job opportunities as “digital medical
practitioners”
Filipino
nurses may apply in KPOs as an alternative for the poor employment for nurses
in the country. Nurses may apply their knowledge and skills through assisting
patients virtually-or through by telecommunication and internet.
Wei Siang
Yu founder and chief executive officer of the Fly Free for Health Group of
Companies said that its Philippine subsidiary company, Life Stage Communication
will develop new facilities in Manila and Davao for the next six
months. They target to hire registered Filipino nurses who have knowledge and
skills in medical assistance and have good communication skills.
“Instead
of nurses leaving the Philippinesto work in a hospital outside the country, Filipino nurses can now stay here
and still tap the global, borderless healthcare and medical tourism market,”
Wei said.
“They can
just communicate with their patients via the Internet,” he added.
Wei also
cited that state-led healthcare reforms in countries such as the US and Singapore, as well as aging
populations, will likely increase the viability of medical outsourcing. He said
this will benefit more Filipino health professionals, who are in demand due to
their English-language skills, good education and innate hospitality.
On the
other hand, Eleanor Artemia Gapuz president of the RA Gapuz Review Center says,
“about 400,000 nurses in the country were unemployed last year and the
popularity of the profession can add 20,000 more nursing graduates a year.
While Filipinos abound in skills and talent, working visas for nurses in
foreign lands are still very limited.”
Gapuz also
advice unemployed nurses to look for an alternative job.
“Filipino
nurses have to look for alternative opportunities besides working abroad, and
working as a medical butler is a good one,” she added.
The ContactCenter of the Philippines (CCCP) predicts
that the KPO industry will grow more than 100 percent this year.
