Under his proposed HB 4609, entry-level wages for nurses shall not be lower than P35,000, while other health workers shall be paid P850.00 per day. “Health care institutions are only as good as the health workers comprising them. Health workers play an important role in setting the standard and quality of health care for the general population,” he said.
The legislative measure also provides that all private health workers will be entitled to benefits provided under the Labor Code, Magna Carta of Public Health Workers or Republic Act No. 7305, and other relevant laws, rules, or regulations.
