Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Minister of Health hopes for nurses from Ukraine

Schwerin (dpa / mv) - Minister of Health Stefanie Drese (SPD) hopes to be able to employ nursing staff who have fled Ukraine in the country. "If we succeed in achieving good and rapid integration into our healthcare system, with a joint effort by employers, educational institutions and authorities, then we will hopefully be able to retain specialists here in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for as long as they wish "said Drese on Friday in Schwerin.

In a pilot project, the state government wants to enable caregivers from Ukraine to work as recognized specialists as early as possible from the summer - contrary to the usual procedures. The language skills should then be acquired at the same time as the induction. According to the information, such an attempt is also to be made in Saxony.

According to the Ministry of Health in Schwerin, a corresponding concept was developed in cooperation with the federal level, educational institutions, advice centers, the hospital company, the state Ministry of the Interior and the Wilhelmine Lübke Foundation.
