Pampa-sweldo, PPE para sa newbie health workers tiyakin–solon

BAGO isabak sa Central Visayas kung saan mataas ang kaso ng coronavirus disease 2019, sinabi ni Ang Probinsyano Rep. Ronnie Ong na dapat tiyakin muna ng Department of Health na mayroon itong pondo na pampasuweldo at sapat na suplay ng personal protective equipment upang hindi mahawa.

Ayon kay Ong hindi dapat bigyan ng P500 arawang bayad ang mga medical graduates na kinuha ng DoH upang tumulong sa paglaban sa COVID-19.

“These are extraordinary times and we should treat these extraordinary people with all the financial support and all the protection that they truly deserve. Huwag naman po natin silang baratin at ituring na second-class citizens dahil hindi pa sila nakakapasa sa board,” ani Ong.

Hindi umano dapat tipirin ng DoH ang mga medial frontline workers dahil malalagay sa panganib ang kanilang buhay.

“They are putting their safety, health and lives on the line. The least we can do is properly compensate them for the heroic act they are doing. After all, these health workers have families to support too,” saad ni Ong.

“And let’s be rational here, no one wants to put their life on the line for a meager income that cannot put food on the table. Let us stop romanticizing the sacrifices of our health workers and properly support them and recognize their hard work. They are our COVID19 heroes after all.”

Dapat umano ay natuto na ang gobyerno sa mga dating pagkakamali kung saan maraming medical workers ang nahawa ng COVID-19.

“The DOH should make sure that not one of these new recruits would fall ill because of they had no PPEs. One case of a new recruit getting exposed to the virus would definitely destroy the entire recruitment program of the DOH.”

Dapat din umano ay magkaroon ng regular na swab test sa mga ito at ilagay sila sa maaayos na matutulugan.
