In order to increase the utilization of Indonesian Health Workers (TKKI) abroad, especially returning nurses to Japan, the Health Human Resources Development and Empowerment Agency (BPPSDM) has implemented a Government to Private (G to P) collaboration with the Fukuoka Perfecture Medical Association (FPMA ) Japan and the MoU Re-Challenge Returnee EPA Program was signed on February 18 2019 in Fukuoka Prefecture.
Head of BPPSDM drg. Usman Sumantri, MSc said that until 2018 there were still 653 nurses as Japanese nurse candidates for 3 years through the Indonesia ā Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) framework. During the contract period, nurse candidates are given the opportunity to take the Japanese National Nursing Examination (Kangoshi) 3 times.
However, until now the number of nurses who have passed the Kangoshi exam is still very low, so they cannot continue their work and have to return to Indonesia after the contract period ends.
"FPMA offers cooperation to provide returning EPA nurses with the opportunity to work again in Japan, namely in Fukuoka Prefecture. Participants will be given training to strengthen the Kangoshi exam first in Indonesia for 1-3 months and will be facilitated to take the national level exam in Japan as a Registered Nurse and the local level exam as a Nursing Assistant in Japan (Licensed Assistant Nurse). "More than 70% of people who have participated in this program will pass," said Drg. Usman, Friday (22/2) in Jakarta.
In this MoU, FPMA will carry out training to strengthen and place nursing staff who have passed the exam in hospitals and clinics under FPMA. For nurses who have only passed the Licensed Assistant Nurse, while working in Fukuoka Japan they will be facilitated to increase their capacity so they can pass the national exam, while BPPSDM prepares returnee staff who will take part in the program.
"Currently FPMA oversees around 450 hospitals and 4,000 clinics in the Fukuoka Prefecture area and we visited the clinics and met our nurses and they seemed quite prosperous," said Drg. Usman.
Considering the very high need for nurses in Japan, including in Fukuoka Prefecture, the FPMA is considering supporting preparations for the placement of nurses to Japan, one of which is through assistance with the Japanese language education process in international classes which will be held in the Ministry of Health's Health Polytechnic environment.
Apart from that, through this opportunity the PPSDMK Agency also invited the Japanese to invest in building homes for the elderly in Indonesia, especially on the islands of Bali and Bintan. It is hoped that this elderly home can become a new destination for elderly care for Japanese citizens by empowering Indonesian nurses and careworkers after placement in Japan.
