Triennial Report 2021-2024: The State of Filipino Internationally Educated Nurses in the Nordic Region - Workforce Realities and Policy Implications

The Triennial Report

The Triennial Report 2025 signifies a substantial landmark in the continuous progression of Filipino Internationally Educated Nurses (FIENs) within the Nordic Region. This report, which encompasses the years 2021 to 2024, signifies the culmination of meticulous data collection, policy analysis, and community engagement spearheaded by the Filipino Nurses Association in the Nordic Region (FiNAN). This phenomenon is indicative of the evolving landscape of healthcare migration, as well as the resilience, dedication, and aspirations of Filipino nurses who have chosen to establish their professional careers in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the self-governing territories of Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Åland.
