Top Reasons Why You Should Pursue A Nursing Career In Saudi Arabia

For years, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been one of the prime destinations for Filipino nurses seeking better opportunities abroad. As of 2023, around 130,000 Filipino nurses are employed in the Kingdom, and this number is expected to rise in the coming years. But what's the reason behind this? What makes Saudi Arabia such an appealing choice for Filipino healthcare professionals?

The Kingdom's appeal stems from a multitude of factors, including competitive salaries, comprehensive benefits, and diverse opportunities for professional development. With so much to offer, it is clear why working in Saudi Arabia can be a worthwhile endeavor. Now, let us dig more into the top reasons why this country stands out as an exceptional place to build your career:

• Competitive and Tax-Free Salaries: Many international nurses choose to work in Saudi Arabia because of its competitive salary packages. Filipino nurses here can expect to earn significantly more than they would in the Philippines. Plus, all salaries in Saudi Arabia are 100% tax-free, whether you are a Saudi national or an expatriate. This means you'll get to keep a more significant portion of your earnings, making it easier to save money for yourself and your family.

• Comprehensive Benefit Packages: Filipino nurses working in Saudi Arabia can enjoy a variety of benefits. Most healthcare employers provide free accommodation and transportation, so you won't need to worry about where you will stay and how you will get to work. Additionally, expatriates are entitled to healthcare benefits as required by Saudi Arabian labor law. Through one of our partners, the Ministry of National Guard - Health Affairs, you can also take advantage of the unique benefit of 30 days of paid leave every six (6) months.  

• Opportunities for Professional Development: Saudi Arabia houses numerous top-notch healthcare facilities across its regions, including several JCI-accredited hospitals, like the Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Hospital in Al Madinah. Working in these environments offers the chance to engage with cutting-edge technologies not widely available in the Philippines. This experience will help you enhance your skills and stay updated with the latest advancements in the healthcare industry.

• Guaranteed Job Opportunity and Security: As Saudi Arabia's healthcare sector continues to expand, more job opportunities for Filipino nurses are created. This expansion will ensure the growing demand for nursing positions and also provide stable employment for existing Filipino nurses. With the Kingdom's continuous investment, you can look forward to long-term job security and opportunities to advance your career in the growing healthcare environment.

• Diverse Working Environment: The country is a hub of expatriates from various countries around the globe. You will get to work and interact with colleagues with different cultural backgrounds.
