TO help prevent the exodus of Filipino healthcare workers, a labor group has urged lawmakers to consider expanding the coverage of the bill granting a 75-percent wage increase for government nurses to also cover those in the private sector.
It noted the considerable pay gap between local nurses and their counterparts abroad has forced many of them to work overseas. The large demand for Filipino healthcare workers abroad, especially during the pandemic, has prompted the government to limit their deployment to initially 5,000, which was later increased to 7,500.
Under the proposed legislation, the entry-level salary for government nurses will be hiked from P36,619 to P63,997.
