COVID-19 we all the more need them.

Cagayan
de Oro Rep. Rufus Rodriguez made the call after it was reported that European
bigwig Germany is flying in at least 75 Filipino nurses to care for Covid-19
patients.
“(DOLE)
Secretary (Silvestre) Bello should suspend the sending of nurses abroad. We
need our healthcare personnel here at this time of public health emergency to
attend to sick Filipinos, and not to foreigners,” Rodriguez said.
“We need those nurses bound for Germany and
other jobs overseas to augment our dwindling public health workforce,” he said.
He said the deployment of healthcare workers
abroad could resume after the country has successfully battled the public
health emergency.
The
current crisis is overwhelming our hospitals both public and private and a lot
of them are already complaining about the lack or dwindling personnel among
their ranks of doctors, nurses, and hospital staffs.
