HK’s Hospital Authority recruits nurses from Kuala Lumpur

Non-local nurses can work in HK without taking a licensure exam.

Hong Kong’s Hospital Authority (HA) conducted recruitment events for non-locally trained nurses in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last August 19 and 20.

Supported by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Jakarta (HKETO Jakarta), the HA introduced the latest policies enabling eligible non-local nurses to work in Hong Kong without taking a licensure exam.

"We were able to introduce the latest policies for working in Hong Kong as well as the working environment and development opportunities in our public hospitals to the local nursing community. The response was very positive, with many participants expressing interests in coming to Hong Kong for career developments," HA director of Cluster Services, Simon Tang said.

The HA delegation also visited a medical institution in Kuala Lumpur, learning about local nursing education and training to explore collaboration opportunities.
