Germany health care jobs open

 The Philippines and the Federal Republic of Germany Tuesday formally signed a government-to-government agreement that will facilitate the placement of Filipino health care professionals in employment positions in Germany.

The agreement was signed by Monika Varnhagen of the German Federal Employment Agency [BundesagenturfürArbeit]/International Placement Agency [ZentraleAuslands und Fachvermittlung] (BA/ZAV) and Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA).

The agreement opens the German health care sector to Filipino health care professionals who have been, heretofore, barred from employment in accordance with existing German laws. It also stipulates the procedures and conditions for the deployment of Filipino health care professionals to Germany.

Under the agreement, the placement of Filipino health care professionals in Germany will be regulated and facilitated only by government agencies namely, the POEA and the BA/ZAV. A key provision of the agreement is that Filipino health care professionals will be employed in Germany under the same conditions that are accorded to their German counterparts.
