New nurses from Vietnam: International project starts in Krems!

In a groundbreaking step to combat the long -term care in Lower Austria, training for 150 nursing assistant from Vietnam will be started in the newly founded "International Nursing Center" at the IMC University of Applied Sciences. State Councilor Christiane Teschl-Hofmeister and other project managers announced this during a solemn event in which the first 41 trainees were warmly welcomed. On this special occasion, Teschl-Hofmeister emphasized that the decision of these young people to learn and work in Austria was of great importance, since the domestic population is getting older and high-quality care needs to be read, as can be read at APA-OTS.

The project is part of a comprehensive strategy of the country that includes three main pillars: prophylaxis, the expansion of care infrastructure and the promotion of nursing professions. By 2030, 300 million euros alone will be invested in improving care facilities. Teschl-Hofmeister continues: "We need 9,500 new nurses by 2030, but although we have already taken many measures, we cannot achieve this number solely through local training initiatives." Therefore, the internationalization of this project is crucial for ensuring sufficient nurses in the future. The training begins with a three -semester German course at the University of Hanoi, followed by practical training in Krems.

After the successful completion, the new nursing staff should work immediately in institutions of the Lower Austrian state health agency, from which both the new and the existing employees will benefit. Karl Ennsfellner, Managing Director of IMC Krems, also reported on the many years of experience at the University of Applied Sciences with the University of Hanoi, which creates confidence in the success of this project. The initiative is also supported by central works council chairman Gottfried Holidays, which sees diversity in nursing as an essential factor for sustainable improvement in health care.

Everyone is agreed: This pilot project could change the health landscape in Lower Austria sustainably, as well as noe.gv.at The training in the "International Nursing Center" is not only a profit for the Vietnamese graduates, but also for the entire region that rely on efficient and high -quality care.
