More than 300 internationally educated health-care professionals have accepted job offers to work in Manitoba.
Our provincial Health Minister provided an update Tuesday afternoon on the results from a recent recruitment mission to the Philippines. Audrey Gordon said last November, her government implemented the Health Human Resource Action Plan to retain, train and recruit 2,000 health-care staff across our province.

Manitoba bringing care workers from Philippines
A recruitment mission to bring Filipino nurses and health care aids to Manitoba is being touted as an ‘overwhelming success’ by the provincial government, though some say it’s too early to celebrate.
The province says it’s received more than 300 letters from health care workers in the Philippines, accepting job offers in Manitoba’s health-care system.

Community health workers cited as unsung heroes in complex health care system
“We’re actually seeing a number of hospitals and health systems that are also engaging community health workers, but the position is really non-clinical,” Henderson said. “They are focused on addressing the whole person, so what those needs of different vulnerable populations might be, whether it’s accessing food or helping to make a connection for housing or employment or if they need a medical home, they become that care coordinator across all the social determinants of health.”
