Germany wants to recruit 500,000 nurses from Africa in a move to tackle shortages in its health system.
The European country is battling severe labour shortage and has started discussions with South African nurses to fill its vacancies.
Khaya Sodidi, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa (DENOSA), disclosed this and said Germany wants South Africa to train nurses for them, especially the unemployed youth.
Sodidi disclosed that Germany has a shortage of about 500,000 nurses, while South Africa has around 20,000 unemployed nurses.
In a report published by Africa’s BusinessDay Newspaper, Sodidi said: “We can confirm there are continuous engagements about nurses between Germany and SA, but nothing has been finalised just yet.”
