HÀ NỘI — The Centre of Overseas Labour under the Vietnamese Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs and the Osaka Long-Term Medical Care Federation signed an apprentice supply contract for hospital orderlies in Japan at a ceremony in Hà Nội on June 12.

The contract targets nursing and high school graduates, with the latter to undergo one-year-long nursing training. After selection, they will receive Japanese language training from 8-11 months to reach the elementary level (N4).

The Osaka federation will cover fees for Japanese language training in Việt Nam, Japanese language exam (one time), visa and health examination (two times), and round-trip air tickets. Those selected will work at the federation’s health facilities or its partner hospitals.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Nguyễn Bá Hoan said Việt Nam aims to bring 200 hospital orderlies to Japan in the next three years.

In 2019, the two sides also signed an agreement on selecting and sending nursing apprentices to Japan. — VNS
