The government should instead prioritize the passage of a comprehensive nursing bill that would narrow the pay gap between private and public nurses, Philippine Nurses Association president Melvin Miranda said.
To find a “concrete solution,” Miranda also pushed for a joint dialogue with concerned agencies such as the Department of Budget and Management, the Department of Labor and Employment, as well as the Department of the Interior and Local Government, whose involvement would be crucial in addressing the impact of devolution on the implementation of the Salary Standardization Law in some health facilities.
“Why not prioritize the plantilla positions for our new passers?” he said, noting that over 10,000 passed the nursing board exams in May. “They could be a source for the human resources for health,” he added, referring to the DOH deployment and training program.
