Robredo: Gov't should improve nurses' working conditions, not trade them for vaccines

endIndex:
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 28) — Vice President Leni Robredo has expressed dismay over the proposal of the Department of Labor and Development to deploy health workers overseas in exchange for COVID-19 vaccines.
In her radio show Biserbisyong Leni on Sunday, Robredo noted that instead of merely doing "lip service," the government should be seeking ways to improve the working conditions in the health sector which often compel workers there to look for opportunities abroad.
"Maraming nagsasabing bayani ang ating health workers pero paano ba natin sila tini-treat?" asked Robredo, urging the administration to instead consider improving the plight and other needs of workers in the health sector.
