With a host of job opportunities found in The Gulf Cooperation Council
(GCC), it’s no surprise that many Filipino healthcare workers are dreaming of
working in one of the six countries under its union, namely, Bahrain, Kuwait,
Oman, Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Luckily, the healthcare sector in the GCC has a lot of job vacancies.
But Filipino professionals who plan to pursue work in one of these countries
must be aware of the application process and ensure they have the required
documentation and qualifications.
To make the whole journey easier, TrueProfile.io, a healthcare career platform that provides Filipino (plus
all other nationalities) medical professionals around the world with the tools
they need to secure a lucrative career abroad, shares the following pointers
that applicants need to consider to land a lucrative job in one of the GCC
countries:
- Education and Documentation: Your home country should recognize the diploma given by your
educational institution, while educational programs in
your field of study should be nationally accredited. Regulators and
employers will be looking for a Bachelor's Degree, transcript of records, internship
records for nurses, and in some cases, even high school diplomas. Meanwhile, a Doctorate diploma is needed
for doctors or dentists while
specialists would need both diploma and relevant specialization.
- Licensure: In any
healthcare job, you must have a license to practice the profession. Before
applying for a job in the GCC, the applicant must have a license issued by
the Professional Regulations Commissions (PRC) in the Philippines. The
license of the regulatory body of the country where the applicant last
worked will also be acceptable.
- Professional experience: Healthcare professionals must have sufficient work experience before applying in any of the GCC countries. Nurses
need at least three years, doctors and dentists need their last five years
experience certificates while specialists need to have practiced their
specialization in the last eight years of their employment.
- Certificate of Good Standing: While not all regulators require a Certificate of Good Standing, it
definitely increases the applicant’s chances of securing a job in one of
the GCC countries. The issuer of the certificate is usually the health
managing body of your origin country. It can also be from the country you
last worked in.
- Other documents: As with
any other job applications, Filipino healthcare workers would also need
their resume, 1x1 or 2x2 ID pictures, and a copy of their valid passports.
Most GCC regulators will also require them to have their primary
source of verification (PSV) either from the regulator’s site or via
TrueProfile.io. To register, visit https://sso.trueprofile.io/register. On the website, applicants can also find
a comprehensive list of healthcare
roles from legitimate employers they can apply with.
