why do we say they're never giving up every weekend on dw, the these young health care workers are learning german in albania. they're hoping to go and work in germany, and german hospitals and care homes are keen to recruit them. good morning, fire schneider. my name's etiquette and i'm and i was looking off to you today. this a lot my career is my biggest dream. i hope i'll get lots of opportunities to specialize on your specific but how many a has a shortage of health care workers, especially in rural areas. hardly anyone wants to stay in work under difficult

conditions for low wages. sort of down for some of the main problem is the big distance from door to door. it takes 2 to 3 hours just to get to the next patient. the orders use 3 or nothing. this the fact that so many young people are leaving is a major problem. the elderly in particular depend on regular care, the the, it's the start of a long day test player to high and his wife are packing food he can take with him.

the nurse will be on the go for up to 10 hours looking after his patients. he won't be able to buy food on the road. would you like more? it's enough. the albania is one of the poorest countries in europe. the 36 year old lives in a sparsely populated, mountainous region and the north close to the border was comfortable. many houses are not served by paved roads. his patience lived kilometers a part of the health care worker visits, all of them on foot. and so it said that if i had a car, it'd be better for me and my patients,

but i'd be able to reach them more quickly. let me help would arrive faster. but test toyota can't afford to buy the off road vehicle. he need from his low wages. and so instead, she covers 20 to 30 kilometers on foot each day. oh hello, how are you? fine, thanks and you know, it's very well today. yes. find them, you know, you hear me of glen glen, are you feeling a bit better today? but before? no. so the 84 year old has an infection at the moment. cast toyota is visiting her every day to give her medication. so somebody leads as a small 100 miller liter bottle is for the antibiotics.

it contains. okay. mueller, maybe you'll feel better afterwards. i don't hear much. but during the infusion, he tells his patient about his concern. the region is undergoing major changes. that's on a new quote for no book cormier, dean met during the summer for the sound of the roof from inside of wordpress shipping. you know, zillow, so that's in for so many people have left albania, but to one 3rd. so it's most of us supplement, any kind of, especially the young people saw bought the 33 young men the last few months alone. and that will go to pay it from my district and don't, did i get them does attend, that they're all looking for a better life. landlord,

for the pay here is too low to and so know if i'm in your percent, they want a better life for their families and especially for their children. pretty much me there for media for, for me to more from the health care workers in particular are packing up and going. they can earn more money in germany and other western european countries. only a handful want to stay didn't get well soon when it will have to do some things as one disciplined things can't stay like this one. this all the best plan, the, the, all the best of both a lot of youtube, of people that are still as to it's difficult because the nearest medical center is an hours drive away. we're happy that castro can come here. he's such

a big help and it's a 2 hour walk now from here to his next patient. test to it has a degree in nursing and is employed by the state. here is 450 years a month. the houses here are scattered across the landscape. the nearest small settlement is 30 kilometers away. castillo looks after the elderly gibbs vaccinations and provides 1st aid for major and minor injuries. the albanians capital to rhonda is the jumping off point for many in search of a better life. elsewhere in europe, the

22 year old i was kept kaya also plans to leave this year. as a german company in toronto offers courses for qualified health care workers from albania. it also finds employment for them, and does the paper work. the training is paid for by german hospitals and care homes. germany's skill shortage in the sector provides the foundation for its business model. you frontier, you and your aust. i'm creating an inpatient in today's exercise. the goose class 1st will help me prepare for an exam in germany. the course participants are learning bedside manners in german.

and my name's i said it's been pretty bruised. ribs of the right to show the i ticket this. the only complaint is paid. i'm in time with the facts the morning, the trial schneider. my name's etiquette, and i'm the nest looking off to you today. we have a few as always, hyman, pain cents. okay, now where is this exactly how much it hurt us here by my ribs. okay. okay, i understand on a scale of one to 10, how strongly do you say the pain is about 6. okay. okay. yeah. if you could, i take your cost please. yeah, yes, of course tom can, thanks please give a pain killer. it's just the 1st time there. do you feel that as soon as they have the spa, her beast, she has reached a b, 2 level in german under no. preparing for the practical part here on central travel

to germany to take the exam did get her license and the tense answer can both of us get well soon pro schneider us and now i'm leaving the room. okay. and then just start with the tire of what you choose like and what mistakes did she make? mendoza. i think that you introduced yourself well, the treatment and the way she spoke to the patient with good that type of course, there's the language issues which the normal and uh, based on a georgia, will have to improve to avoid having problems with my, with patients in germany and they're still in oklahoma, so i'm just going to see what's going on in the business that's in the headset. kaya completed a master's and health care management into your rhonda and is a qualified nurse to defend

a german hospital has already offered her a permanent post and it's cardiac surgery unit. but the contract hinges on her passing her exams in a few months time. in german, i see that she has to learn a lot of specialized vocabulary slash, especially phosphates preparation for the b 2 language tests. the health care works clear. i guess we need that for the examinations. it's a 3 month course. gives you all the rest in what donna castro. i know, could you briefly present the topic for us? why again, dementia is to generate to brain disease. at 1st short term memory is affected. east coast time conditions, but also on the the hospital and often bug is paying for out of cut a specialized course. it costs them less then to train people as nurses in germany . lessons and at noon,

giving the students' time to learn the new vocabulary. some of them have only studied health care so they can emigrate easily and legally the, the german labor market depends on health care workers, from albania, and for young people. it's an attractive prospect to move to germany with the offer of a permanent job. immigration is normal here, few young people want to remain the last long. i'd like to leave as quickly as possible. and then we'll begin to work on my. we haven't started on lives here yet . can we tell them we would just students up to now? those so mutual, so it would be best to distill into a future somewhere that can offer us move some for journals. the money is

important to this, but so is quality of life. we're here, we don't have any security to monitor to do what you need, that for example, if you want to start a family. but this sunday, it's matt, it's not just health care profession. and also we're leaving the country. many of the students revising for their exams here in the cafeteria will leave more than 80 percent of young albanians say they can imagine immigrating. practically every family now has someone working abroad. not been job parents who i'm sorry for the toughest thing for me. uh for there are no young people here anymore. she's coming for people left. it's a big problem or shock. something extraordinary. you would have to happen to make a stay special mazda conquer. one like this. to

me in the mountains near the border with comfortable test toyota. hi uh is on his way to visit his 3rd patient of the day. it's already afternoon the but she can't imagine leaving his home region well know that the other from the thought sits in the way. i love the beautiful natural surroundings here in the mountains. this little military air, the food, the water, we not tune up. i'm very happy here me doing to the farm perched 400 meters up a hillside is home to his last patient of the day. 6 this

of how are you able to hear dr. how are you all? well yes. course, no, no. is patient to celebrating her 90 his birth date today. the many happy returns. i wish you another 100 years. i wish you the same of the boy and you're a good mother the god watch over you. you will be there for me as long as i live. it's less than a 2nd to assume as god wills. step for some of you on from the most important thing is that we take your vital signs, blood pressure, heart rate, appearance of temperature, death. and so when it's temperature, well they say less than as long as my mother is alive here, look out to her better than anyone else. she'll go to your side ventilation and i'm grateful for that. mom is that the family regard category or

not just as a qualified nurse, but as a doctor, they rely on his diagnoses that i do not admitted. when is it for me, the nearest, the general practitioner is far away. young man here are especially likely to leave 2 of the grandsons have been living in germany for years now. so we're kind of curious, call up no one of my sons as an electrical engineer. good. the other is a health care worker, like who knows to pop and 3 lives. yes. there comes up. my wife worked in germany young professor and it makes us time to live with that with our children here today to see if that's a big teaching. so we have one from job tickets you the

birthday party starts once the infusion is over, 2 of the 9 year old sons have travelled from italy with their wives to be here. the older 2 still lived here. know, blow it out. the that's right is a toast. holidays and thank you. may god protect you all closed for the jesus. also to do that i'll take the glass from her doctor. i have some cake. that's really the, is it for almost the to things last of you the so the 30 just thought it was quite where there are no people. there's no gross. me lot of what the following next we're getting her by the day because you people are

leaving albania. gosh, if you yeah, most never return. all the of course, the best way to get really awful if he left to that's good. this is how the, the overtime, the 30 yes, but conditions that just to pour to stay as long as you have to approve. everyone has children abroad. a site. this is just going to be honest. he has children abroad because he does me too much. so mean, yeah, you can't do it, but they have to, i don't think we live badly here this way some unless they're kind of well here or 3rd job, several engine ceiling infrastructure in your cab. if i swear to it, i do have to nothing would work without the help of the state. for the past year, the nonsense, the state does nothing but the 1st build roads and schools to

look for some houses. don't even have running water. no folks familiar with it, you'll see they take a look at the streets and if they're even too bad for horses, if there's any of them, it's like you'd be crazy to buy a new car. yeah. for the, for the not through the, to click on chris or at that the roads or what are most important to us yet. so i'm on their boys in a subsequent element, we could get to sick people faster, then more what's for the process. enjoy the rest of your day good by the test, 3 of the sets off on his 8 kilometer a walk home. the the capital to run a is a 6 hour drive away. more and more people are moving out of the country into the city. for many, it's just a stepping stone for immigration. albania has been hoping to join the european

union for a long time now hoping for a better quality of life. to run is relative. affluence, largely stems from people who are in there, living abroad. the state health industry is trying to staunch the flow. qualified health professionals are badly needed here at home. the in the ministry of health 5 is colla is hoping that more money will help persuade well trained young people to state posts from 2013 to 2020 to pay rose by 63 percent. i'm going to put forward another 7 percent rise in july and that's what we've also doubled the number of places and higher education for nurses and doctors or a musical dashed weatherford only 50 percent of

trained staff currently stay in the countries public health care system. there is an effective phenomenal data most of the information, the enormous exodus of health care staff. so you're a p and phenomenal. first it's problem matic noise. sure. but i think that our measures will help staunch the flow of medical stuff from the country acting like you meet the low key meets the for so many issues as our country. ok, high as home is high up in the mountains. 10 kilometers from the nearest village and only accessible across a steep path. he lives here with his family, his parents and his brother's family, a cache throughout the day off today. and these fun winding playing the traditional albanian loot the chip tally with his father is nice place to the

the time for lunch with the whole family and the only room with eating most of the food has been grown or produced here in georgia. right? that's true. there's been but a member of this family also works abroad in the u. k. u. castro's wife's class is pregnant with their 2nd child. she works as a teacher in the village. his mother, mira is a midwife and used to bring her doctors back when she went to visit. patients on foot says one is usually the feel, the emotion that he often accompanied me on those long walks to visit my patience. score sat there for you to watch me carefully and learned a lot to admit me by the finding was a tea already knew all the names of the medicines fuel. what is your name?
