The Department of Foreign Employment has started the process of sending caregivers to long-term care centers in Israel. In the first phase, 1,000 people will be sent, including 600 women and 400 men.
They are scheduled to undergo a health check-up at four health centers selected by Israel from December 17 to 23. Israel has selected Nepal Medicity Hospital, Star Hospital, Hames Hospital, Manmohan Memorial Medical College and Teaching Hospital and Crystal Diagnostics Pvt Ltd for medical tests.
Israel had chosen the name of the worker through shelling last October. Out of the 3,461 people who qualified, 2,112 were selected through the round robin system. However, the process of sending the workers was put on hold after the fighting between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah escalated. After the cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah, the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security, with the consent of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, proceeded with the recruitment process.
According to the labor agreement between Nepal and Israel, workers will be sent to long-term care centers through government mechanisms. There is no private sector involvement. According to Dhananjay Jha, liaison officer of Israel branch of the department, after sending 1000 people in the first phase, those who are in the second phase will be taken. The government of Nepal has been proposing to take all the workers who have reached the qualifications of Israel and are listed according to their needs.
Nepali Ambassador to Israel Dhan Prasad Pandit said that there is no point in stopping Nepalese workers as those working in long-term care centers are safe. There is no point in holding back the workers who have been selected. Workers are coming here from Sri Lanka and India. Even though Israel is at war, the workers are safe," he said.
Long-term care centers have the highest number of Nepalis working at 1,345. They have been saying that they are safe. Recently, Israel's Population Immigration and Border Authority (PIVA), which is responsible for bringing in foreign workers, has started to say that it will look at alternatives if Nepal stops recruiting workers for a long time. Piva is hiring workers from India and Sri Lanka for the agricultural sector. Caregivers have been giving preference to Nepalese.
Israeli Ambassador to Nepal Samulik Ari Was claimed that sending workers to Israel is in the interest of both parties. "There is no difference in the services provided by the workers working in Israel and the local citizens," he said in an event held in Kathmandu, "The recruitment process between the two countries through the government mechanism is beneficial for both countries."
The monthly salary of a Nepalese working in a caregiver is set at 5880 Israeli currency (about 200,000 rupees). Its contract period will initially be one year. After that it will be up to a maximum of 5 years. There are about 14,000 long-term care centers in Israel. Last August, Israel moved forward with the process of taking 15,000 workers, including 5,000 caregivers, from India.
