In a statement, the Department of Health said “the aim of this collaboration of Irish and Kenyan officials will concentrate on workforce planning in the health sector by addressing nursing and midwifery shortages in Ireland while investing in the ongoing development of these professions in Kenya. The bilateral agreement will contribute to augmenting the global nursing and midwifery workforce in a managed and sustainable way.
“Ireland is committed to developing a sustainable domestic health and care workforce, including nurses and midwives. We’ve made significant progress in expanding the number of undergraduate places. Ensuring we retain our graduates and provide attractive career pathways is a priority for me.”
