TACLOBAN CITY —- At least 11 nurses from Eastern Visayas were deployed to the National Capital Region (NCR) to augment the hospital workforce there amid a spike in the number of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases.
Dr. Exuperia Sabalberino, director of the Department of Health in Eastern Visayas, led the send-off ceremony at the Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport Wednesday.
“We thank you for your selfless offering of yourself for the people of NCR. It is better to help than to be of help,” she said.
All 11 nurses will be assigned at the Philippine Heart Center.
Sabalberino hoped the COVID cases in NCR would go down so these medical workers could return to the region early.
