MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Feb. 7 (PIA) -- The Department of Health (DOH) based in Southern Leyte conducted an exit conference for the Registered Nurses for Health Enhancement And Local Service (RN-HEALS) project through presentation of accomplishments at the Salvacion Oppus Yñiguez Memorial Provincial Hospital (SOYMPH) conference hall, February 7. | |||
DOH Representative to the province, Dr. Feliciano John Matibag disclosed that Southern Leyte was allotted at least 77 registered nurses for the nationwide project, from February 2011 up to February of 2012. “DOH required them to present their accomplishment for evaluation since their contract will end on February 14, 2012,” he said, adding that another batch of nurses will be hired for the next RN-HEALS project. | |||
The conference was done in two batches, Matibag said. The first batch was held February 6 for Maasin City to Malitbog areas and February 7 for Sogod Bay to Panaon areas, discussing RN-HEALS accomplishment reports and the issues and concerns within their areas of jurisdiction. | |||
Matibag informed PIA-Maasin this morning that there will be another RN-HEALS project, allotting Southern Leyte for at least 105 registered nurses to be distributed at the local government units such as Macrohon, Limasawa, Padre Burgos, Malitbog, Liloan, San Francisco, San Ricardo, Saint Bernard, Hinunangan, Silago and in Maasin City. | |||
A minimum of 7 nurses will be assigned in each area with an allowance of P8,000 a month coming from the DOH funds and a counterpart from the assigned LGU, depending on the LGUs availability of funds for at least P2,000 per month. Likewise, the LGU will supervise the nurses assigned and ensure their safety and security, Matibag added. | |||
He said that qualifying examination was already conducted for the applicants for the next batch of RN-HEALS last December 2011. “Though, those nurses with outstanding rating will be considered, but DOH will try to accommodate new but deserving nurses for the next set of RN-HEALS project,” he added. | |||
It was learned that RN HEALS is expected to address the shortage of skilled and experienced nurses in 1,221 rural and unserved or underserved communities for at least one year will prioritize those newly graduate nurses with license and who have no fixed income yet. (PIA 8-Southern Leyte) | |||
