Radiography/Sonography work Asia
Hi I was wondering if anyone had any information or current threads about working as a radiographer or sonographer in Hong Kong, Singapore or China ??

Re: Radiography/Sonography work Asia
Steve I think you may struggle unless it's a fairly senior role. A lot of the bottom end radiographers etc come from here in the Philippines as we churn out around 40,000 nurses etc a year and there are not the jobs available here so they go to the 3 countries you mention for lowish wages, but good compared to what they could get here. We have regular job fairs in our local Mall and they are always looking for nurses etc for these countries.
I'm sure others will be along soon with more pertinent info as I may be completely wrong - not unknown for me!

That's such a shame. We have such good skills and would offer so much to the hospital system if we could have a have to get in and be paid a Decent wage for it 😞😞
