SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Nurses in Singapore are seeing their pay go up as efforts are made to retain them in the face of a continued global shortage.

Attrition rates of both foreign and local hires have been rising. Some 14.8 per cent of the foreign nursing cohort left last year - more than double the figure in 2020 - many to countries that offer better remuneration.
