The National Kidney and Transplant Institute Employees Association-Alliance of health workers staged a silent protest on Saturday over alleged “worsening” health and working conditions of healthcare workers.
The association expressed its concern over the “appalling” health and working conditions of their fellow healthcare workers in NKTI. As of July 19, about 174 NTKI health workers have been infected with coronavirus disease 2019 . NKTIEA-AHW argued that infection prevention and control measures are not properly observed: “Quarantine protocols are not strictly implemented; there is no free swab test for all frontline hospital workers regularly. Worse, health workers are required to pay for their swab tests and charged to their PhilHealth.”Based on NKTI data, 65 health workers have already resigned from their posts while eight have retired.
“We are anxious with our current situation especially to our fellow contractual health workers, our fight against COVID-19 is very risky and yet our fellow contractual health workers don’t have just benefits, additional compensation and lately their salaries are always delayed,” Pacheco underscored.
