Published April 1, 2021 5:55pm The group Filipino Nurses United on Thursday reiterated its call for increased protection of health workers amid the rising cases of COVID-19 in the country. In a statement, FNU said the pandemic continues to cause misery to health workers and their families. It has “constantly put their safety at great risk and even claimed lives needlessly.” “FNU reiterates its call for adequate protection, just compensation and benefits for nurses, doctors and other health workers especially when they get sick in line of duty,” the group said. Noting that its statement is released on the anniversary of the first death of a nurse to COVID-19 in the Philippines, the group also called for a mass hiring of nurses and essential health workers with “decent salaries, benefits and job security to ensure retention and continuity.”
