抖阴短视频

JAKARTA: For more than a decade, Ade Koswara has served as a perfusionist of the cardiac surgery team at one of 抖阴短视频鈥檚 top hospitals, working alongside some of the best in the field. 

The 42-year-old Indonesian, who is originally from Sukabumi, West Java, was responsible for operating the machine that artificially replaces a patient鈥檚 heart or lung functions during surgery. 

Since joining the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Riyadh in 2010, he said he has been able to develop his skills and has gained new, previously unthinkable, experiences. 

鈥淭here are many precious things I have gained, especially the knowledge and skills that I acquired,鈥� Koswara told Arab News. 

鈥淭here are many new devices and equipment that aren鈥檛 yet available in Indonesia because they are very expensive, but they have a lot of them here with the amazing support from the government for the people in 抖阴短视频.鈥� 

When he decided to move abroad, like many Indonesians Koswara considered the financial benefits of working in the Kingdom, which would have given him about eight times the salary he was earning at the time from a public hospital in his home country.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a significant difference financially, in terms of material rewards,鈥� he said. 鈥淚n 2010, I was earning about IDR 6 million ($372) (per month), which included benefits and incentives, but in 抖阴短视频, I would earn about IDR 50 million.鈥�

Since moving to Riyadh, Koswara 鈥� who is also head of the 鈥嬧�婭ndonesian National Nurses Association鈥檚 chapter in 抖阴短视频 鈥� has worked alongside doctors from the US and Europe and learned to keep up with the international standard practiced at the hospital, which has sent him abroad for training to upgrade his skills. 

鈥淚 had the opportunity to go to Germany and it was amazing because there was a time when I鈥檇 dreamed of going there and it came true 鈥� It makes me happy and motivated,鈥� he said. 

鈥淥pportunities here are equal. It鈥檚 not just for the Saudis, it鈥檚 also there when they see potential in any staff, even when they鈥檙e not Saudi nationals.鈥� 

Koswara said there is much potential for other Indonesian nurses to pursue a career in 抖阴短视频. 

鈥淔or Indonesian nurses especially, the opportunity for an international career in the Middle East, especially in 抖阴短视频, is huge. We have the potential to enter this market, to gain new and better experiences, and hopefully a better financial reward,鈥� he said. 

抖阴短视频 is among the top destination countries for Indonesian migrant workers and ranked seventh last year, according to government data. 

But as most of them are domestic workers, Koswara estimated that there are at least around 600 Indonesian nurses currently working in the Kingdom. 

Another one is Akhir Fahruddin, who first went to the Kingdom in 2015 to work under the Ministry of Labor and Social Development, which has since become the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. 

After working for almost three years, Fahruddin came back to Indonesia to continue his studies before returning to Riyadh in 2021 to work as an occupational health nurse, now specializing in protecting and promoting the health and well-being of workers. 

The 33-year-old is now serving a company in Oxagon, a floating port city in the flagship multibillion-dollar NEOM project. 

From the Saudi healthcare system, Fahruddin said he learned about the value of collaboration and respect among health workers. 

鈥淭here is no such thing as one person being more superior than another, it鈥檚 a positive thing that I鈥檝e learned while working in 抖阴短视频,鈥� he told Arab News. 

鈥淚 feel appreciated. When someone appreciates us in practicing our roles, I feel they are valuing my skills, and that鈥檚 something that I experienced firsthand.鈥� 

He is also grateful for the time he is permitted to offer prayers, which he has learned from friends was not afforded to workers in other countries. 

鈥淚f I compare myself to two of my friends, who are in Japan and Germany, they encounter limitations in practicing their religion. This is in contrast with my experience in 抖阴短视频, where I am allowed to perform my prayers comfortably, they give me time,鈥� Fahruddin said. 

Just four months ago, he experienced a highlight in his career when he resuscitated a patient in an emergency case and was able to save him. 

鈥淗e survived. It was very memorable for me because I was able to save a patient whose heartbeat had stopped 鈥� It allowed me to reflect on how everything I鈥檝e learned all this time, I was able to put it into practice to save a patient,鈥� he said. 

Most of all, Fahruddin is thankful that his career in the Kingdom has given him an opportunity to support his family back home in Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara. 

鈥淚 am able to help my family, to help my nieces and nephews to continue their education and my other relatives to pursue higher education,鈥� he said. 

鈥淚 am also able to save money for my future and buy assets back home. This is the sort of happiness that I鈥檝e gotten through working here.鈥�
