The appointment of Dr. Teodoro Herbosa as secretary of the DOH has drawn both approval and disapproval. | zacariansINQ
Solante even advised Herbosa to focus on laying down directions on how to approach the COVID-19 problem, particularly vaccination, especially after the World Health Organization declared that COVID-19 was no longer a public health emergency.
Vergeire also welcomed Herbosa’s appointment, saying: “Our new secretary — Secretary Ted — can count on the wholehearted support of the entire DOH family,.”On the other hand, the Alliance of Health Workers opposed Herbosa’s appointment, citing his previous move to privatize government hospitals during his tenure as health secretary from 2010 to 2015.
“Herbosa’s appointment is a big insult to health workers and indigent patients who rely on free and quality health services in public hospitals and other health facilities.”What the position calls for, the AHW said, is someone who values the call of health workers for a salary increase and better benefits, someone who is determined to protect and defend the health workers against discrimination, intimidation, and violence.
