Getting More Healthcare Workers for Nova Scotia

We need more health care workers at home if we’re going to address the challenges facing Nova Scotia’s health care system.

Health may be a provincial responsibility, but we want to do our part to help make a meaningful difference.

We’re contributing $10 Million to help Nova Scotia’s NICHE program speed up the qualification process for health care workers who were trained internationally.

A lot of these people are living here now, have skills that we need, but don’t have their qualification to practice.

This funding is going to help reduce barriers to having their skills recognized and speed up their ability to join Nova Scotia’s health care workforce.

Thanks to everyone at NS Health’s Innovation Hub in Halifax for hosting us today!
