ISLAMABAD: The Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC) of Pakistan is set to dispatch well-trained and qualified nurses to Saudi Arabia, according to Pakistani state media.

The required fields include cardiac care, emergency medicine, obstetrics, pediatrics, critical care, hemodialysis, neonatal care, oncology, surgical care, and intensive care. The report emphasized that Saudi Arabia urgently needs nursing staff and the OEC has initiated the process by advertising the necessary qualifications and experience required for the positions abroad.
The eligibility criteria specify that only qualified female candidates with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing BScN (4-years) or (Post RN) degree, along with a minimum of two years’ relevant experience, will be considered. Additionally, applicants must be female and not exceed the age of 45.
