Nearly 600 Hanoi healthcare workers quit for better jobs in the private sector over the first 10 months of 2022, and the capital’s health department fears this is just the beginning.

 

At a meeting with the Hanoi People’s Council Wednesday, municipal health department director Tran Thi Nhi Ha said that among the 586 state healthcare workers who quit, 20 had entirely abandoned their healthcare careers for jobs in other sectors such as online sales.

Ha pointed out that the rate of public healthcare workers migrating to the private sector had been accelerating over the last two years.
