The proposed measure which seeks to address the concerns and issues of nurses and the nursing profession is now up for plenary session in the House of Representatives.
This developed after the House committee on civil service and professional regulation, chaired by Bohol 3rd District Rep. Kristine Alexie Tutor, approved the still unnumbered substitute bill and committee report on the Comprehensive Nursing Act on Monday, Dec. 12.
Party-list Rep. Anthony Rolando Golez Jr., Parañaque City Reps. Edwin Olivarez and Gus Tambunting, Cagayan de Oro 2nd District Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, Deputy Speaker and Batangas 6th District Rep. Ralph Recto, and ACT Teachers Party-list Rep. France Castro. HB 1590 by Romualdez and Acidre sought “to institute reforms to further protect and develop the nursing profession.”
“The bill also addresses the increasing number of Filipino health workers going to other countries by strengthening the nursing profession in the country and institutionalizing a better practice environment by providing better working conditions, competitive salary, and proper recognition,” it added.
