Overseas Employment Corporation Plans to Send 100 Female Nurses to Malaysia
The Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC), a branch of the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development, is preparing to send around 100 female nursing staff to a health firm in Malaysia.
An official revealed on Thursday that the demand for female nursing staff in Malaysia is rising due to the highly qualified and expert nurses already working in various Malaysian hospitals.
The OEC has announced job openings for nursing positions in Malaysia, specifying the required qualifications and experience.
The official stated that 100 nurses are needed for ICU roles, requiring either a diploma in nursing or a Bachelor of Science in nursing (16 years) or post-RN from a recognized institution.
Candidates must be registered with the Nursing Council and have at least three years of relevant hospital experience.
Preference will be given to those with specialized post-basic training in OT/ICU and pediatrics, and candidates should be under 45 years of age.
The basic monthly salary ranges from RM3,000 to RM4,500.
Additionally, the health firm will provide monthly allowances, including a general nursing allowance for pediatric nurses and specialized allowances for ICU and OT staff.
The allowances include RM1,100 for specialized skills, RM700 for general nursing, RM400 for degree holders, and RM800 for post-basic training.
The employment contract includes terms such as annual salary reviews in March, backdated to January, based on individual performance and market position.
Employees are also entitled to a one-month bonus for each year of service upon completing the contract, with the bonus payable after the two-year contract period.
Interested applicants can apply through the OEC’s website: https://oec.gov.pk/. For technical support, applicants can contact the OEC-Helpdesk team at UAN: 0311-0011-632 or email: helpdesk@oec.gov.pk.
