Laoag City—The
Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte (PGIN) has intensified the hiring of
additional medical practitioners to augment the province’s health
workforce.
Fe P. Siazon, provincial human resource management officer,
disclosed that the Governor Roque B. Ablan Sr. Memorial Hospital (GRBASMH) will
be opening four vacancies for Nurse II, another four for Nurse I, and several
casual and job order positions for the provincial hospital.
“For our district hospitals, we are waiting for the final
list of job vacancies. Maybe next week, we can publish and eventually fill the
positions,” Ms. Siazon added.
Meanwhile, Ilocos Norte Governor Matthew Joseph M. Manotoc
continues to reinforce his commitment to revitalizing the province’s health
sector, saying: “Our hospitals are filling up long-vacant and urgent staff
positions, repairing old and damaged wards, as well as increasing expenditure
in medicines and laboratory testing.”
The primary thrust of this year’s budget is towards
enhancing public health programs and facilities. Investing in the health of its
people, the provincial government has allotted PHP475 Million.
The allotment is for the improvement of medical
facilities, employment of additional health practitioners and medical
personnel, and procurement of medical equipment and supplies. (PGIN-CMO)
