Answer:

RN HEALS, or Registered Nurses for Health Enhancement and Local Service, is deployment program through the Health Human Resource Development Bureau under the Republic of the Philippines Department of Health. The RN HEALS program was a collaborative effort between the Department of Health, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Philippine Regulations Commissions-Board of Nursing and the Philippine Nursing Association. RN HEALS was created in 2011 to provide quality healthcare to rural communities with little or no health care services. The program was also designed to help with the number of unemployed nurses in the Philippines. The Health Human Resources Development Bureau states that the RN HEALS program will assign a deployed nurse for six months in the community or rural health units, and then they will be deployed to a hospital for another six months. The Republic of Philippines Department of Labor and Employment states that nurses that applied to the RN HEALS program were screened based on when they submitted their application, having residence in the covered municipality, a valid nursing license, physical and mental health, as well as no nursing practice for three years.
