In the month of February this year, OET signed inaugural
agreements with the Dubai Healthcare City Authority (DHCA) and the Dubai
Government’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). This merger
gives professionals in the Healthcare industry to improve their career
opportunities in the UAE. This makes Dubai the first state in the UAE to accept
OET as a proof of English proficiency for Healthcare professionals.
Dubai Healthcare City Authority is the world’s largest zone
of healthcare and is regulated by the Dubai Healthcare City Authority-
Regulatory, which is an independent regulatory arm and whose quality standards
are accredited by the International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQua).
DHCA happens to be the first health authority to recognize OET as a proof of
English proficiency for those professionals who have had their professional
education in languages other than English. According to the CEO of Dubai
Healthcare City Authority- Regulatory, Dr Ramadan AlBlooshi, “With an
increasing number of patients from across nationalities receiving treatment
within Dubai Healthcare City, the regulatory body has stressed the importance
for healthcare professionals to be proficient in English to communicate
effectively and ensure a high standard of care and safety.” He went on to add,
“We are continuously working to develop policies which will enhance our
patient-doctor relationships and ensure quality healthcare services. In this
context, OET is an important tool as the language test is tailored for
healthcare professionals. All healthcare graduates who have not been educated
in English will need to obtain Grade C in OET to apply to work in Dubai
Healthcare City.”
Since OET assess language skills thorough four different
modules, namely, reading, writing, speaking and listening, it ensures that
healthcare professionals who pass this test will meet the proficiency level in
English required at workplace.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR NURSES IN PUNJAB?
In simple words, it means that now you can look forward to
working in some of the best healthcare facilities in the world that are present
in Dubai. This will give your career the much needed boost as you strive to
improve your already strong professional skills by working in hospitals and
other centers that follow International Standards in patient care. Also,
noteworthy is the fact that nurses who go abroad make the same amount of money
in a month which an Indian nurse makes in a year.
