The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Emerging Infectious Diseases encouraged the Department of Health (DOH) and other government hospitals to employ healthcare professionals who seek employment abroad.
In a virtual presser Tuesday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the IATF has issued Resolution No. 64 approving the temporary suspension of overseas deployment of medical and allied health workers.
“Considering the continuing State of Public Health Emergency, the overseas deployment of the medical and allied health workers is hereby temporarily suspended pursuant to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration Governing Board Resolution No. 9,” the IATF resolution issued on August 17 stated.
“For this purpose, the DOH and all hospitals and healthcare facilities of local government units and entities are enjoined to hire these medical and allied health workers to supplement their current workforce,” it also said.
Meanwhile, Roque said the task force also sought the promotion of the Philippine Humanitarian Assistance Registry as the primary government website “for information, inquiries, and procedures on all local and foreign humanitarian assistance to the Philippines government, including in-kind and financial donations, and deployment of humanitarian workers.”
