    The NARS (Nurses Assigned in Rural Service) Project was launched by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2009 to address the excess of inexperienced nurses, promote health in rural areas, and mitigate the impact of the global financial crisis. The program aimed to deploy 5 nurses per town in the 1,000 poorest municipalities for a 6-month clinical and public health rotation, paying them P8,000 per month. It intended to create a pool of 10,000 trained nurses for local and overseas employment, provide income support for unemployed nurses, and improve healthcare delivery and promote health in underserved communities.
