US health worker shortage: Filipino nurses say they are being exploited
The US has been battling a shortage of healthcare worker for years.
To fill the void, it’s recruited a record number of nurses from the Philippines.
But labour and migrant rights activists say many are being exploited.
Al Jazeera’s Barnaby Lo reports from Manila, the Philippines.
Eleanor Nolasco is the president of Filipino Nurses United – an advocacy group supporting the rights and welfare of nurses.
She explains what the government needs to do to keep nurses from seeking jobs abroad and that poor working conditions and low wages in the Philippines are pushing nurses to move abroad.
