Citing a 2017 data from the Department of Health, the recruitment firm leader noted that there are over 750,000 licensed medical professionals in the country, including dentists, med technologists, pharmacists, physicians, and midwives.
“Over 500,000 nurses have passed the licensure exams since the year 2000-2019 but only an estimated less than 200,000 are working as nurses in private and government hospitals,” he also said. He believes that the deployment of health professionals will not affect the healthcare industry since there are still over 240,000 nurses who are not active in the profession.
The reason for this is very obvious, according to Soriano. He noted that nurses have been underpaid for the past 15 years, with some earning less than P10,000 in private hospitals and 15,000 in government hospitals. Benefits are likewise few.However, he pointed out that recent actions of the government to raise the salaries of nurses to P 32,000 per month will not be realized until the new fiscal year of 2021 takes effect.
