Bill Could Offer More Visas to Healthcare Workers
The heroes of our time
Humanity is going through a crisis unprecedented in recent history. The sudden massive outbreak of Coronavirus around the world and its uncontrollable spread caused anguish, chaos, crisis, disasters and social controversy.
Clearly, being a health-related issue, the heroes during these times of crisis are doctors, nurses, researchers and health workers, who offer their service tirelessly in order to save as many lives as possible, in many cases risking their own.
They are the key to overcome the current health crisis and are essential to mitigate the impact of the global pandemic.
However, in many countries, the massive outbreak of Coronavirus was devastating and the healthcare system is currently saturated due to a lack of skilled workforce, facilities and supplies. That is the case of the US.
It is well known that the country is the main epicenter of the global pandemic and the number of people infected since its arrival is alarming. The health system has not been able to fully withstand the health crisis and hundreds of doctors/nurses state that they cannot cope with the patients’ needs since there are not enough personnel available, and they often have to work long shifts to be able to help COVID-19 patients.

Senate proposes to offer more visas to foreign health workers
Immigration has always been beneficial to the healthcare sector of the US. In fact, a considerable portion of health professionals are foreigners and currently reside in the country with a legal work permit.
To give a specific example, in Wisconsin, more than 19% of medical personnel come from other nations. This is indeed a fairly high figure and even more nowadays that we are going through a health crisis.
That is why the US Senate introduced a bill that proposes to use the available work visas, which have not been used during 2020, to allow more foreign health workers to come and legally reside in the country, while helping the health system to overcome the current crisis.
This could greatly benefit thousands of local doctors, who have been the front line in the battle against the Coronavirus.
