Meanwhile, P613 million were provided to health workers who had mild, moderate, and severe to critical COVID-19 cases. This includes the benefits for health workers who succumbed to the virus.
Duque said that the DOH is asking for more funds to provide health workers with benefits.
“Ang amin pong tanggapan ay patuloy na humihiling ng karagdagang pondo para sa atin pong mga healthcare workers na hindi nakatatanggap na kanilang benepisyo, at nais din namin na ipaalam na kami po ay magpapatuloy sa pagtulong sa atin pong mga namamayaning healthcare workers na araw-araw lumalaban para po sa ating mga kababayan,” Duque said.
(Our office is continuously asking for additional funds for our healthcare workers who have yet to receive their benefits, and we would also like to inform you that our assistance will continue for our healthcare workers who brave the virus for Filipinos.)
