ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC) will hold walk-in interviews this month to select qualified and trained nurses it intends to send to Saudi Arabia, state-run media said on Monday.
Pakistan’s state media said in May that Saudi Arabia required nursing staff in various fields, including cardiac care, emergency, medical care, obstetrics, pediatrics, critical care, hemodialysis, neonatal care, oncology, surgical care, and intensive care.
The OEC had said it would send qualified and trained nurses to the Kingdom.
“All staff would be selected through the walk-in-interviews from different dates and stations, including the 27th & 28th June, 2024 at Shalimar Tower Hotel Jail Road, Lahore and the 2nd & 3rd July, 2024, at the Pearl Continental (PC) Hotel, Rawalpindi,” the state-run Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported.
Pakistan said in May that only qualified females would be entertained for final selection, who have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing BScN (4-years) or (Post RN), minimum two years of experience in the relevant field and females not more than 45 years of age.
APP said nurses would be provided facilities by the company such as accommodation and transport, over time compensation as per Saudi labor law, a free return ticket after one year and 21 days of paid holidays every year.
“The candidates must bring their original diplomas, CNIC, updated CV + 02 passport size pictures,” the state media said.
Interested applicants could apply via the OEC’s website https://oec.gov.pk/, UAN 0311-0011-632 or email at [email protected].
The last date for nurses to apply is June 30, 2024.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia enjoy strong trade, defense and cultural ties. The Kingdom is home to over 2.7 million Pakistani expatriates and serves as the top destination for remittances to the cash-strapped South Asian country.
