Queen Máxima 'is recruiting' healthcare workers

“De Telegraaf” 19 March 2021

AMSTERDAM - To tackle the large staff shortage in healthcare, next week is "Discovery Care Week". Queen Máxima will kick off on Monday.

Máxima will be talking with returners and side entrants who have made the transition from a completely different profession to a job in healthcare and welfare. The idea is that their experiences inspire others to follow their example.

At the end of last year, an estimated 21,600 vacancies were open in health care, according to the Care Barometer of the UWV. That is the same number as a year earlier, for corona. The demand for individual health care providers is particularly high. Almost one in five vacancies is for IG carers, who work in nursing, home care or maternity care, among others.

Healthcare is one of the largest employers in the Netherlands with over 1.2 million jobs.

Schotanus Elderly-care Heerenveen

In and around Heerenveen is a group consisting of "Nursing Homes for Elderly Care" who are very interested in hiring health workers from Ghana. In addition, the city council of Heerenveen admires initiatives to build the "Ghana Cube" houses to provide perfect housing for Medical Staff.

Absolutely exceptional is the head of the medical staff; Doctor Epke Zonderland. Simultaneously with reading medicine at the University of Groningen, he showed more than great perseverance to also become an Olympic Sportsman.

Consider it a great honour to be part of the group of Health Workers who work with greatest dedication with him.

Insurance

MedicalBrokers arranges for you -in collaboration with your bank- the best possible insurance that covers all kinds of risks, such as illness, accident, temporary unemployment or death.

You can also call on this insurance package if there are circumstances that make your immediate presence in Ghana necessary. In addition, a separate pension provision is provided for later. The entire scheme is in the hands of AOL International Insurances.

AON recently presented itself in a special way by sponsoring a boat that took part in the great sailing race from England to Ireland and back to France.

AON shows you that you are in the most professional hands with them.

Social Life in Europe

The circumstances under which you will work in NL show a big difference with daily life in Ghana. Social Control is far much less and you are free to do whatever you want, as long as you are not a burden to the other. The two friends on a bicycle were demonstrating against a political decision, and to get maximum attention one of them decided to take off her clothes.

Of course, she got the attention she hoped for but without much of a thrill from the crowd.
