Position Statement of Support for Social and Healthcare Staff in Greenland

The Filipino Nurses Association in the Nordic Region (FiNAN) wishes to extend our deepest and most heartfelt support to all social and healthcare professionals across Greenland. We recognize that these past months have brought increasing pressures, uncertainties, and demands to your daily work. Even without public attention, the realities you face- staffing challenges, heavy workloads, community needs, and the emotional weight of caring for others- are profound. Yet every day, you continue to serve with dedication, compassion, and quiet strength.

We see the commitment that sustains you through long shifts, complex situations, and the growing strain on essential services. We honor the courage it takes to keep showing up for your patients, your clients, your colleagues, and your communities. Your work is the backbone of wellbeing in Greenland, and your presence brings stability, comfort, and hope to the people who rely on you.

FiNAN stands with you in solidarity. As fellow healthcare professionals in the Nordic region, we understand the challenges of working in environments where resources may be limited and expectations remain high. We also know the emotional and physical toll that caregiving can bring. Please know that you are not alone- your efforts resonate far beyond your workplaces, and your dedication inspires us all.

We wholeheartedly affirm our respect for your resilience, professionalism, and humanity. In these demanding times, we extend our support not only to you, but also to your families, your teams, and the communities that depend on your care. We remain committed to fostering collaboration, understanding, and mutual encouragement across the Nordic healthcare community, strengthening the bonds that unite us.

To every social worker, nurse, healthcare assistant, therapist, support staff member, and leader in Greenland: your work matters, your wellbeing matters, and your dedication does not go unnoticed. FiNAN stands with you- today and always.
