GCash reinforced its support for Filipino nurses worldwide by sponsoring the 15th International Nursing Conference of the Philippine Nurses Association of America (PNAA) and the Filipino Nurses Global Summit VI, a global event focused on education, collaboration, and a shared objective.

The two-day conference brought together Filipino nurses from the US and other countries to exchange viewpoints on the evolving healthcare landscape, pinpoint shared concerns, and spark conversations that may influence workplace customs, regulations, and policies that affect nurses worldwide. Additionally, it offered a networking opportunity, uniting nurses whose shared experiences are shaped by service, sacrifice, and being away from home.

Filipino nurses continue to battle on the front lines all around the world because of their unwavering commitment to patient care and the families they support back home. Through their employment abroad, they provide for houses, cover educational expenses, and handle daily needs. Their activities have an impact on local communities and the Philippine economy.

By enabling easy and affordable cross-border digital transfers with GCash Overseas, we make sure that their hard-earned money gets to their loved ones quickly and securely," he added.

With GCash's easier cross-border financial access, Filipinos living abroad can take care of their families and meet their daily needs even when they are far away. Fast, reliable digital transactions that help manage everyday expenses, fund education, and respond to urgent needs back home allow Filipino nurses working overseas to support their families with greater comfort and confidence.

With GCash now present in 145 countries and territories, Filipino nurses may use digital tools to communicate with their families. Nurses can provide immediate assistance by aiding with schooling, utility bills, or family situations with the aid of rapid bill payments to over 2,000 billers nationwide and limitless free padala. As seen by GCash's sponsorship of the PNAA Global Summit, Filipino nurses are frontline workers whose influence extends beyond national borders.
