"Over 400 Sri Lankan nurses currently serving in Singapore - High Commission reveals"

[Scythian]

The High Commission of Sri Lanka in Singapore has revealed that over 400 Sri Lankan nurses currently work in Singapore.

A group of 100 nurses arrived at the Changi Airport in Singapore on Friday (15 March), under an ongoing collaboration with Singapore’s Ministry of Health Holdings, making this the largest group of nurses to be deployed to Singapore simultaneously.

Under the ongoing collaboration, nurses from Sri Lanka get the opportunity to serve within the Singapore healthcare system for a period of two years. 

The Singaporean Government also provides air tickets for both ways and accommodation free of charge. Apart from the wages a one-time relocation allowance of SGD 1,000/- is given to each person.

Without level playing field and Union intervention 

Can our trained Singaporean nurses able to compete with Sri Lankan nurses?

Basing on low salary & costs disparity, many of our HealthCare workers could easily be replaced.

Poor Singaporean nurses are bound and gagged and much worse, discriminated by the system

Local nurse should just pack and go overseas. More work life balance and more $$$. SG gov is holding us at ransom for the fact that we won’t leave SG. So keep saying no locals want to do but yet didn’t bother to ask why or find out why.
