MANILA, Philippines — A nurses' organization on Monday renewed a call for better work conditions, including a basic salary of P50,000 a month, to encourage healthcare workers to stay in the Philippines.

 

In a statement, Filipino Nurses United said an entry salary of P50,000 a month for nurses both in private and public health facilities will enable them to "live decently commensurate to their crucial role in health promotion and protection of our fellow Filipinos."

 

The organization earlier said that more than 100,000 nurses in the private sector earn P537 per day in Metro Manila and much lower in areas outside the capital region. The minimum wage in the National Capital Region is P570.
