Calgary, 15 February 2022 – Consul General Zaldy Patron and Saskatchewan Minister of Health Paul Merriman had a virtual meeting on 14 February 2022 to exchange ideas on Saskatchewan’s plan to recruit Filipino nurses from the Philippines as a way of strengthening Saskatchewan’s health care system.
Consul General Patron also discussed with Minister Merriman the advocacy of the Philippine Consulate General in Calgary for an easier recognition of the credentials of the Filipino nurses who graduated in the Philippines but who are now in Saskatchewan.
Consul General Patron and Minister Merriman agreed to continue their discussion on these two projects with the involvement of the other stakeholders from the Philippines and Saskatchewan. END.
