"Call it a booster shot or a massive fund transfusion, but percentage-wise, this one breaks the record...The Department of Health (DOH) will be spending P100 million more per day in 2016 than what it is spending daily this year," Recto said.
DOH will allocate a total of P7.1 billion in first year salaries of 21,118 health professionals, which include 1,192 rural doctors (Doctors to the Barrios Program), 15,000 nurses and 3,000 midwives (RHMPP) in 2016.
This year, DOH has employed 13,500 nurses under NDP, 398 doctors, 2,700 midwives, and 480 dentists.
NDP is the DOH program that sends nurses to communities identified by National Anti-Poverty Commission. Previously named as RNHeals, the accepted nurses were given P18,549 monthly salary.
DOH Regional Offices handle the recruitment of NDP nurses based on the guidelines issued by the Department. Hiring usually starts around the month of November.
