Meet health workers’ needs before PH runs out of nurses -- Dr. Carl Balita

Aksyon Demokratiko senatorial candidate Carl Balita on Thursday, Oct. 21, said the government should attend to the needs of Filipino health workers to prevent them from leaving the country.This, after news reports said around five to 10 percent of nurses in private hospitals had resigned in the past two to three weeks, causing many hospitals to suffer from manpower shortage.

“Unless the government does something about the welfare of medical health frontliners as they continue to struggle to care for patients affected by the coronavirus pandemic, many who entered the profession will eventually choose to secure better-paying jobs abroad,” said Balita during a town hall meeting on Thursday, along with Aksyon Demokratiko presidential candidate and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso, vice presidential bet Dr.

“Napakalaki po ng oportunidad nila sa ibang bansa at napakaraming recruitments na nangyayari locally. Hindi natin kayang sabayan ang sweldong ibibigay sa kanila sa ibang bansa… sa Amerika, Europa, name it, our nurses especially. Pero, ano ang magpapanatili sa kanila dito sa atin? ‘Yung ating respeto sa kanilang mga pangangailangan ,” Balita pointed out.

He added that the meal, accommodation, and transportation allowance should also be given to health workers.He also reminded the government to act immediately before the country runs out of medical professionals. “There should also be long term solutions for this, even legislative, because there has to be concrete action to prevent further crisis, not only in nursing, but in other professions as well,” he said.
