MANILA, Philippines—A government-owned hospital in Saudi Arabia is now recruiting 300 Filipino male medical workers, Labor Secretary Marianito Roque said Sunday.
In a statement, he said the Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) had placed a job order for 300 medical workers with the Philippine Overseas Employment Authority (POEA).
He said that the SRCA needs 200 nurses and paramedics and 100 physicians.
Reminding applicants that this is a government-to-government arrangement, Roque reminded applicants that applications and inquiries should only be made through the POEA.
“The SRCA prefers Filipino nurses and physicians because they are dedicated and competitive in their craft,” said Roque noting that the hospital, as a pioneer institution, gives emergency response and first-aid support in Saudi Arabia.
Roque also reported that the POEA deployed 275,933 OFWs in Saudi Arabia in 2008.
