A hospital workers’ group calls on the DOH to immediately distribute the Special Risk Allowance and other benefits to all medical frontliners

Contrary to the DOH's claims, Private Hospital Workers Alliance of the Philippines spokesperson Donell Siazon said the agency has yet to complete its payment of SRA to all healthcare workers

The Department of Budget and Management , meanwhile, has released around ₱1.2 billion in total to compensate medical frontliners who attended to infected patients from December 20, 2020 to June 30, 2021. For Siazon, medical frontliners should be vigilant and should insist on the benefits that are rightfully theirs.

"Need we remind everyone that this is not merely about the appropriate funds for just compensation but the very lives of our health workers," he said.
