The
United States of America (USA) is now feeling the brunt of the novel
coronavirus 2019 disease or COVID-19, big states like New York and California are
overwhelmed by the cases pf COVID-19 that they acknowledge the need for medical
professionals like doctors and nurses to augment their ranks.
Last
week the US has opened and relaxed their requirements for medical professionals
to apply in the mainland.
The
Philippines being their best source of medical professionals most especially
nurses are in a dilemma as some lawmakers are calling out the government to
temporary ban the sending of medical professionals in other countries, amid our
own battle with COVID-19.

“We do not SEND our nurses abroad.
Our nurses are not ours. We especially we fucking public officials do not
deserve to call them ours. We never helped them. They have had to flee our
FUCKING Country for lands that value them,” Foreign Affairs Secretary Teddy
Locsin said in a tweet commenting on news that Cagayan de Oro Representative
Rufus Rodriguez is calling on suspension of sending nurses abroad.
“[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.
The DFA chief also urged the DOH to refrain from
“asking for volunteer doctors and nurses but to instead hire them and pay them
professionally with competitive rates.”
