Lifting of Pinoy nurses' deployment cap being studied--Bello
The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) has temporarily suspended the deployment of newly hired nurses and other healthcare workers abroad after reaching the 5,000 annual deployment cap.
The suspension affects the processing and issuance of Overseas Employment Certificates (OECs) for these workers, effective immediately.
Healthcare workers who already received their OECs before the ban are permitted to leave the country for their employment.
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is currently studying the possibility of increasing the annual deployment limit.
