History and Background
Ayawa was founded with the vision of addressing the growing global healthcare shortage by providing skilled healthcare professionals with opportunities to work in the U.S. We saw the challenges faced by international nurses and healthcare workers who wanted to migrate, and we stepped in to simplify the process, offering end-to-end support, from visa processing to cultural integration.
