Ph hospitals, pvt and public, need 106k nurse
By Nidz Godino
"We have shortage or gap of around 106,000 para mapunuan natin 'yung mga facilities natin all over the country, both public and private," Department of Health (DOH) officer in charge Maria Rosario Vergeire said of the need for nurses.
Philippines needs 106,000 nurses both in public and private facilities and hospitals.
Vergeire said the country also has shortage of doctors, pharmacists, radiologic technologists, medical technologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, midwives, and dentists.
"Sa ngayon, meron tayong mga plantilla positions that are still to be filled up sa ating mga ospital, nananawagan po tayo sa ating mga kababayan our nurses here in the country, midwives in the country, our dentists, and other healthcare professionals, meron tayong vacant na plantilla positions para ma-hire namin kayo" she stressed at a press conference.
She urged them to coordinate with DOH's Human Resources Bureau so that their documents would be processed.
Vergeire expressed concern over migration of healthcare workers to other countries.
She said DOH wanted to maintain 7,500 yearly deployment cap.
"Isa po ito sa mga dahilan kung bakit nagkukulang ang mga healthcare workers dito sa ating bansa, specifically doon sa ating mga facilities…this is because of the migration of our healthcare workers, hanggang sa kulang pa po ang produksyon ng ating bansa sa mga specific healthcare worker professions na ito, sana 'yung deployment cap natin ay manatili na lang sa ganon," Vergeire said.
To address this issue, Vergeire said DOH was pushing for different bills in the Congress.
She said DOH officials were planning to meet with Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to discuss what incentives could be given to local healthcare workers to encourage them to stay and work in the country.
Vergeire said lifting of mandatory use of face masks outdoors may be among reasons for increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the country. Vergeire said rise of COVID-19 cases was expected after the mandate on use of face masks was lifted.
She said that there were other contributing factors as to why infections is happening, including increased mobility of people, resumption of face-to-face classes, and reopening of other sectors in the country.
"Lagi po nating tatandaan, meron po tayong iba't ibang components kung bakit nagkakasakit ang isang tao…andiyan na ang lihetimo o inherent characteristic ng isang tao…maaaring mas nakakatanda siya, maaaring may comorbidity siya, maaaring immunocompromised siya, maaaring bata siya, o maaaring labas din siya nang labas," Vergeire said.
She said what mattered more was that severe and critical cases would remain low and that hospital admissions would not get full.
It was on September 12 when Malacañang announced President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. signed executive order allowing optional masking in open spaces and non-crowded outdoor areas with good ventilation.
"We just want to clarify na nu'ng pinautupad natin itong optional use of mask outdoors, expectedly, maaaring tumaas talaga ang kaso…pero ang importante sa atin is that we can protect our vulnerable, expectedly, cases are increasing because of increased mobility, because of face-to-face classes, and maybe because pumapasok na itong factor ng optional outdoor masking" Vergeire said.
Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines Inc. (PHAPI) president Dr. Jose de Grano called on public to keep wearing face masks amid reported increase in COVID-19 cases again in the country.
Vergeire said groups would no longer need to recommend mandating the use of face masks anew as DOH itself would be the one to do so if proven that the rise in cases is indeed due to optional masking.
COVID-19 cases have risen slightly since mid-August or when schools reopened for face-to-face classes due to increased mobility of people, Vergeire said mobility patterns in Metro Manila and other regions have increased since third week of August.
She attributed this to the confidence in protection elicited by vaccination and reopening of other sectors like education.
"Based on our trends in data, 'pag tinignan natin ang ating mga kaso, nakita natin na medyo may kaunting pagtaas pagkatapos na nag-umpisa ang face-to-face, and that is expected because of mobility patterns," Vergeire said in a press conference.
"Kapag tumaas ang mobility, transmission rate will happen…magi-increase 'yan," she added.
Vergeire reiterated that what matters is that severe and critical cases would remain low and that hospital admissions would not increase as well.
She said optional face mask use in the country could still not be directly correlated with rising trend in COVID-19 cases.
"It has just been how many days, seven days ba, after the issuance of Executive Order Number 3, at hanggang sa ngayon, hindi pa natin makikita ang link nito dito sa masking mandate dito sa mga pagtaas ng kaso sa iba't ibang bahagi ng bansa," Vergeire said.
Vergeire also allayed concerns about high number of COVID-19-related deaths, saying that these were just delayed reports as they were still validated on the ground.
Based on DOH's case bulletin released Monday, 248 verified COVID-19-related deaths were belatedly recorded from September 12 to 18. These deaths were logged from July 2020 to September 2022.
Vergeire pointed out that the country was only averaging three deaths per day in September as compared to the 17 deaths per day in August.
"Our case fatality up until now is still 1.6%...hindi po 'yan tumaas ng 2%...naki-keep natin at that minimum, 'yung mga namamatay dito sa ating bansa," Vergeire said.
Vergeire said DOH was still trying to mitigate casualties through vaccination efforts and by ramping up booster uptake in country.
Based on the DOH's national COVID-19 vaccination dashboard, 72.8 million Filipinos are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19, while 18.8 million have received their booster shots.
