Labour Minister Shibu Baby John has
said that the government will actively look into the feasibility of making
recruitment of nurses, who seek employment in the Middle
East , completely cost-free.
“The government aims to make such a situation where the
recruitment is made completely free of cost,” he said after releasing the
brochure and prospectus of NICE- Nursing Institute of Career Enhancement, a
centre for excellence in nursing under the Kerala Academy of Skill Excellence
(KASE), here. The academy will start functioning at Kinfra park here on May 20.
He also noted that during a
preliminary round of discussions with the Kuwait government, it has been
decided that the employers will bear the recruitment charge. NICE has also
decided to sign an agreement with ODEPC and NORKA in the wake of the state
government’s move making overseas recruitment of nurses only through government
agencies.
NICE will start operations under the
KASE with an aim to provide world-class training to nurses, which will help
them to find jobs anywhere in the world. The
Trivandrum Specialists Hospital of NMC Health Care Group will lead the training
sessions and recruitments of the nursing academy.
NICE will provide certificates for
subjects including the Basic Life Support, Advance Cardiac Life Support,
Quality and Patient Safety, Infection Prevention and Control, Emergency and
Critical Care Nursing and Work Ethics. It also provides training for various
qualifying exams conducted by the Ministry of Health, Health Authority of Abudhabi,
Dubai Health Authority and Qatar Ministry of Health. Apart from the selected
section, it will also provide training in languages like English and Arabic.
