In a recent interview with The Straits Times (Singapore), Mr. Arun Kumar Ojha, Director, Dynamic Health Staff, shed light on the growing interest among Indian nurses in working in Singapore. He emphasized that the allure goes beyond financial benefits. “Singapore is seen as a stepping stone to better opportunities in Europe and elsewhere,” said Mr. Arun.
He noted that this trend is particularly strong among nurses from smaller towns and rural areas in India, where access to modern medical technologies is limited. “The good thing is that hospitals in Singapore are using advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence. So, there is interest among Indian nurses to work in Singapore to get some exposure for four or five years and then migrate to Europe,” Mr. Arun explained.
Over the past three years, Dynamic Health Staff has successfully recruited around 300 nurses from India for both public and private hospitals in Singapore. This trend underscores the mutual benefits of such international recruitment, enhancing the professional experience of Indian nurses while addressing healthcare staffing needs in Singapore.
