The labor department said Wednesday that the Philippines and Libya are set to sign a health accord next week similar to the existing agreement between RP and South Korea.
Under the agreement, Libyan health services will hire more filipino health workers, including medical and nursing faculty.
Labor secretary Arturo Brion clarified that the sending of health workers will be exclusively done by both governments and not through any private recruitment agencies.
The Philippines also signed an agreement last week with Bahrain on an exchange training and recruitment program for Filipino nurses and other health professionals.
