Quebec to Stop Hiring African Nurses to Protect Vulnerable Healthcare Systems
Since 2022, Quebec has brought in over a thousand foreign-trained nurses to tackle its healthcare labour shortage. Like many Western nations, including France, poor working conditions have driven nurses away from the sector, prompting Quebec to look abroad for solutions.
Under pressure from various countries concerned about losing their own nursing capacity, Quebec will cease recruitment from nearly all African nations.
