International Nurses Day: Celebrating Malaysian nurses
As Malaysia’s economy returns to “normalcy,” the healthcare sector prepares to implement pandemic-related lessons. Unavoidably, healthcare professionals such as nurses throughout the country are once again confronted with challenges of rising living costs and prospects for advancement, prompting a number of Malaysian nurses to seek opportunities abroad, such as in Singapore and Malaysia.1
Saudi Arabia and Singapore are among the top destinations for Malaysian nurses, according to Malayan Nurses Union president Nor Hayati Abdul Rashid. Better remuneration and possibilities to further their education motivate nurses to pursue these careers, she added.
