MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines is short of 92,000 physicians and 44,000 nurses because of the COVID-19 pandemic, an official of the Department of Health said Thursday. DOH Assistant Secretary Kenneth Ronquillo bared these figures as the department defends before the House Committee on Overseas Workers Affairs the deployment cap on healthcare workers amid the health crisis.
“These numbers were provided to the Department of Labor and Employment and I think this was the basis of the DOLE to put up this cap,” he added.
