THE delay in the release of Covid-19-related allowances for health workers may be due in part to the hospitals’ failure to submit lists of health workers qualified to receive the government’s Health Emergency Allowance .Department of Health 7 Director Jaime Bernadas pointed out that hospitals are responsible for validating and submitting these lists.The agency’s role is to facilitate these requests, he said. That’s why the government or the health agency should not be blamed.
It also sent a letter to the DOH 7 dated Sept. 28 regarding the matter.In a response letter signed by Bernadas, the DOH 7 said it already disbursed 99.5 percent of the allocated P1,850,788,660.23 for non-healthcare workers in public and private hospitals in the region.These funds were distributed to 1,657 approved HEA beneficiaries, representing 253 public and private health facilities in the region, with DOH hospitals and treatment and rehabilitation centers excluded, the letter said.
