DOH ready to release SRA for health workers
The Department of Health (DOH) regional offices are ready to release special risk allowances (SRA) for health workers to hospitals.
Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said the DOH is willing to amend measures providing COVID-19 benefits for frontline workers due to evolving virus risks.
Despite the release of P311.79 million by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), the Alliance of Health Workers (AHW) demands additional meal, transportation allowances, and monthly active duty hazard pay.
The AHW warned of mass protests if all benefits are not provided by August 31, emphasizing health workers' sacrifices during over a year of lockdown.
