Over 23,000 Romanian nurses work abroad
<p>Over 23,000 nurses who trained in Romania work abroad in ten European countries, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), at the request of <a href="https://www.zf.ro/companii/peste-23-000-asistenti-medicali-romania-lucreaza-peste-granita-22656035?mc_cid=b292485e51&amp;mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ziarul Financiar</a>.</p>

<p>Italy, the United Kingdom, and Belgium have been the most frequently chosen destinations in the last ten years by Romanian nurses who have found a place in healthcare systems abroad.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In recent years, European healthcare systems have been facing a shortage of nurses after the exodus of doctors was the problem, especially in Central and Eastern Europe.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The aging population and the increasingly frequent and complex health problems of people are among the causes of the staff shortage, OECD specialists believe.</p>
