(PNAA) on 25 September 2025, in a dialogue supported by the Philippine Consulate General in New York.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">Secretary Herbosa expressed gratitude to the Fil-Am nurses, noting that their compassion and resilience despite significant risks brought honor to the Philippines and strengthened the global reputation of Filipino healthcare workers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">PNAA members, in turn, conveyed appreciation to Secretary Herbosa for his role as Special Adviser to the National Task Force Against COVID-19, underscoring that his guidance and recommendations were instrumental in shaping the Philippines\u2019 pandemic response.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">The nurses also thanked the DMW for initiatives such as the virtual Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) for nurses being deployed to the US. Secretary Cacdac, for his part, commended the nurses not only for their financial remittances but also for their \u201csocial and technical remittances\u201d that directly benefit communities in the Philippines.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">The PNAA likewise expressed strong support for the pending Senate Bill amending the Philippine Nurses Practice Act, particularly the provisions expanding the role of nurse practitioners to help improve healthcare in rural areas. Secretary Herbosa encouraged them to complement advocacy efforts with direct engagement in programs such as the <em>balik-turo<\/em> initiative, collaboration with local nursing associations, and immersion activities that provide deeper insight into the country\u2019s healthcare challenges.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">Meanwhile, Secretary Cacdac invited the nurses to consider the OFW Hospital in San Fernando, Pampanga as a pilot site for immersion and related programs, where migrant workers and their families could directly benefit from their expertise.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">Both Secretaries underscored that beyond financial contributions, the Philippines values the expertise of its nurses, which can be shared through concrete and sustainable initiatives. <strong>END<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PH Health and Migrant Workers Chiefs Meet with Fil-Am Nurses in New York, Call For Stronger Collaboration DOH and DMW officials meet with representatives of the Philippine Nurses Association of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[40,84,27],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v14.9 -
