The group Filipino Nurses United sees the implementation of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) as an added cause of suffering for the health workers and the Filipinos in general amid the surge COVID-19 cases | @TristanNodalo
@TristanNodalo Filipino Nurses United: A repeat of hard lockdown or ECQ, without clear coordinated plans for the health workers and assurance of economic assistance and aid for the marginalized sectors who would again be displaced is headed for another failure | @TristanNodalo
@TristanNodalo Nurses group: The nurse to patient ratio in COVID-19 wards should be 1:3 for moderate to severe patients and 1:1 for critical care. But in reality 1 nurse handles an average of 12 severe cases and in intensive care unit 1 nurse takes care of 2-3 patients | @TristanNodalo
@TristanNodalo Nurses group: Nurses work 12 hours per shift but extend 2-3 hours more (usually unpaid) because of voluminous paper works. Same is true for doctors who handle 25-30 patients in one shift, and nurse aides/utility staff assigned to 3-5 wards | @TristanNodalo
@TristanNodalo Nurses group: We are extremely frustrated that our repeated calls for mass hiring and staff augmentation have not been adequately and swiftly responded to. It is not rational to increase hospital beds without corresponding additional personnel | @TristanNodalo
@TristanNodalo Alliance of Health Workers: Malapit nang mag-collapse ang ating healthcare system. Puno na ang emergency rooms, pati ang ICU kinukulang na. Kulang na rin health workers dahil sila ay naka-quarantine o naka-admit na rin sa ospital | @TristanNodalo
@TristanNodalo Alliance of Health Workers: Nananawagan kami sa gobyerno na magtayo na ng mga ospital at karagdagang isolation facilities para lamang sa COVID-19 patients | @TristanNodalo

Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion: Pharma companies will not sell to us if there is no indemnification. The private sector cannot form the indemnification. That's why we formed this tripartite agreement.
Concepcion: The gov't did not ask us for vaccine donation. We're paying for the logistics and handling costs for the vaccines that the private sector will procured.
