Inianunsiyo ng Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) nitong Sabado ang pansamantalang pagsuspindi sa deployment ng mga nurse, nursing aide, at nursing assistant sa ibayong-dagat.
Ito’y matapos umanong maabot na ang 5,000 annual deployment ceiling.
“Pursuant to POEA Governing Board Resolution No. 17, Series of 2020 on the lifting of the moratorium or temporary suspension on the deployment of nurses, nursing aides and nursing assistants until it reaches the annual deployment ceiling of 5,000 of new hires for healthcare workers, this Administration hereby announces that the said ceiling has been reached as of date,” nakasaad sa inilabas na Advisory No. 71 ng POEA, na pirmado ni Administrator Bernard Olalia.
