Starting March 19, Filipino nurses employed by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health will enjoy a 20-60 percent salary increase, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) said.
The present salary of nurses employed by the health ministry ranges from SR 2,500 to SR 4,000 (roughly equivalent to P25,000 to P44,000).
The Health ministry remains among the top employers of Filipino nurses in Saudi Arabia, providing employment opportunities to even those without work experience.
One of the nurses interviewed works at the National Guard hospital in Jeddah. Two of them work for the King Fahad University Hospital and the other in a remote clinic in the Eastern province.
The three also said another 10 percent increase will be given next year while the remaining 15 percent is due in 2010.
