Filipino nurses have earned international repute for their dedicated services in the health sector working with a high degree of professionalism, compassion and keeping calm under stress.

Saudi intellectuals have often described Filipino nurses as pillars of the health care services in Saudi Arabia. “It is difficult to imagine how these health services would function without the invaluable contribution of Filipino nurses,” said a noted Saudi writer.

Some hospitals like the Buraidah Central Hospital recently organized a ceremony for two of its nurses in recognition of their completing 35 years of service at the hospital.
