Over 95 percent of German training establishments involved in the training programme spoke highly of Vietnamese trainees’ diligence and expressed wish to welcome more from Vietnam.
As Germany is facing rapid population aging, its government set the target of training and recruiting 8,000 – 13,000 nurses between now and 2021 at home or those from the third countries, including Vietnam.

During their Vietnam visits this year, leaders of German states of Hamburg, Bremen, Rheinland Pflaz and Mecklenburg Vorpommern proposed boosting labour and vocational training cooperation with Vietnam, including training nurses.
