Filipinos in Healthcare: A force of compassion and excellence

Filipinos have emerged as a force to be reckoned with, making their mark across the globe with their dedication and expertise in the healthcare industry. From nurses to doctors and other healthcare professionals, their contributions have been nothing short of remarkable.

In the United States, Filipino nurses stand as the largest group of foreign-trained nurses, comprising approximately 20% of the total foreign-trained nurse workforce, with an estimated 800,000 working tirelessly to provide top-notch care to patients.

Meanwhile, Filipino doctors have also made a significant impact, constituting about 5% of the foreign-trained doctor workforce, amounting to approximately 25,000 healthcare heroes.

Not stopping there, Filipino healthcare workers are a vital presence in countries like Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Middle East, delivering care to patients of all backgrounds. Their compassionate approach and bilingual skills further enhance their value in the healthcare industry.

Amid the global pandemic, Filipino healthcare workers have been at the frontline, battling against COVID-19 with unwavering commitment. Their hard work and sacrifices have saved countless lives and left an indelible mark in the hearts of those they cared for.
