When Austria faced a shortage of hospital personnel, the Philippine government answered the call by sending skilled and dedicated nurses to fill the gaps in the healthcare system.
Through a bilateral agreement between the two nations, Filipino nurses were given the opportunity to pursue their careers in Austria while also providing much-needed support to Austrian patients.
