Nurses are the backbone of Singapore's healthcare system, and the country is taking proactive measures to retain them. With an aging population and increasing complexity of health conditions, Singapore is facing a global challenge in attracting and retaining nurses. The country has implemented several schemes to keep nurses, including a retention scheme that offers up to S$100,000 over 20 years. Additionally, Singapore is providing housing assistance and support for foreign nurses to integrate into the healthcare system. Despite these efforts, the country is still facing a shortage of nurses, and the government is working to address this issue by focusing on job redesign and technology integration. In the future, Singapore aims to promote nursing as a respectable job and improve nurses' welfare to ensure a sustainable healthcare system.
