“Looking back to what happened last year and until now, despite the prompt and sincere response of health workers to save lives and cure victims of the disease, the DOH (Department of Health) and government authorities remain extremely slow, numb, and deaf in responding to the needs of health workers and patients,” said AHW National President Robert Mendoza in a statement.
Mendoza lamented the delayed release of benefits and the lack of personal protective equipment for health workers.
“Nothing has changed in our situation: many health workers from the regions still lack protective gears, severe understaffing in public hospitals and health facilities that lead to health workers to extend long hours of duty, low wages, over delayed payment of miniscule and selective benefits such as actual hazard duty pay and special risk allowance,” said Mendoza.
