MANILA CITY, METRO MANILA—The Department of Health (DoH) has apologized for the delayed stipends of the nurses in the provinces.
DoH Assistant Secretary Dr. Enrique Tayag assured nurses deployed under the Department of Health’s Registered Nurses for Health Enhancement and Local Service (RN Heals) will receive their P8,000 monthly stipends within this week.
The DoH has already fast-tracked the requirements necessary for the release of the funds earmarked for RN Heals project. The agency guaranteed that for the succeeding months, nurses under the RN Heals project “will be paid on time.”
RN Heals seeks to make essential health services available to all Filipinos by training and deploying 10,000 unemployed nurses in poor or remote communities that has limited or lacks access to healthcare facilities and services.
The communities were those under the conditional cash transfer program of the Department of Social Welfare & Development.
Aside from the DoH allowance, the nurses may also receive a monthly stipend of P2,000 from local government units who have funds for extra stipend.
