Meghalaya Chief Meets Nurses in Japan Through Global Placement Drive
Imagine Meghalaya, a state in India, is helping its nurses find jobs in other countries where they need more nurses.
The government has a program called 'Mission Moon' to make this happen.
The Chief Minister visited nurses from Meghalaya who are now working in hospitals in Japan.
The government helps the nurses by giving them money for training and teaches them about the language and culture of the new country.
So far, nurses are working in Japan and Singapore, and some are training to go to Germany.
This helps the nurses get good jobs and helps other countries get the healthcare workers they need.
Meghalaya Chief Minister visited nurses from the state working in Japan.
The nurses are part of the 'Mission Moon' initiative that places healthcare workers abroad.
Mission Moon, launched in March 2023, aims to send trained professionals to countries with nursing shortages.
The program has placed nurses in Japan and Singapore, with more training for deployment in Germany.
The initiative provides financial support and training for the nurses.
