Palace confirms lifting of health worker deployment ban, migration limit

By Prince Golez

Malacañang has confirmed the lifting of deployment ban on health workers.

“Inaprubahan ng ating Presidente Rodrigo Roa Duterte ang rekomendasyon ng inyong IATF ng lifting ng temporary suspension ng mga nurses, nursing aides, at nursing assistants na kasama sa POEA Governing Board Resolution No. 9, series of 2020,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque announced during Monday’s virtual presser.

Roque, however, said starting January 2021, only 5,000 nurses or medical workers could be deployed abroad every year.

“Pinag-aralan ito ng mabuti ng President at ng inyong IATF. Ipinairal ang balancing of interest kung saan tiningnan ang pangangailangan sa bansa ng mga nurses, nurses assistants (at) nursing aides, habang ikinonsidera rin ang pagkakilala ng talento ng mga Pilipino sa ibang bansa at demand sa ating mga kababayan sa ibayong dagat,” according to him.

“Ang pagtanggal ng ban sa deployment ng health workers ay sangayon sa polisiya ng pamahalaan na magkaroon ng full employment, itaas ang standard of living at pagandahin ang quality of life ng lahat.

“Sa pag-alis ng ban, maari nang mag-practice ang healthcare workers ang kanilang propesyon habang napapabuti nila ang buhay ng kanilang pamilya at makakatulong sa ating lokal na ekonomiya,” he concluded.
