BHWs na lumalaban kontra-COVID-19 mabibigyan na rin ng SRAs
BRGY HEALTH WORKERS ON COVID-19 DUTY NOW ELIGIBLE FOR SPECIAL RISK ALLOWANCE
On behalf of the barangay health workers now assigned to COVID-19 contact tracing, checkpoints with health screening, and temporary community quarantine care facilities, I thank President Rodrigo Duterte for his swift response to our letter by including BHWs in the grant of the special risk allowance (SRA).
The grant of the SRA through Administrative Order No. 28 is a significant acknowledgment of the critical and urgent services the currently deployed BHWs perform in this national public health emergency.
Lahat po ng BHWs na nagmamalasakit sa komunidad sa mga health care centers, sa checkpoints, at nagbabahay-bahay sa kani-kanilang barangay upang i-monitor ang mga PUIs at PUMs ay kasamang mabibigyan ng special risk allowance.
I now urge the LGU legislatures to approve the necessary ordinances or resolutions that would implement AO 28.
To be fully realized, the LGU action is needed for the appropriation of their local funds for the SRA of barangay health workers physically reporting for COVID-19 duty at hospitals and other health care facilities and performing the roles enumerated in Section 2 of AO 28.
We also await the supplemental guidelines the DBM was directed to issue to carry out AO 28. (END)
