MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) announced on Tuesday that Filipino health care workers (HCWs) are among the recipients of Germany’s coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) care incentive for medical front-line workers in its healthcare institutions.

Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III, citing a report from the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Berlin, said the host country has set aside 1 billion euros for the incentive, which will be distributed evenly between nurses in nursing homes and nurses in hospitals.

HCWs that work with the elderly will earn a monetary reward ranging from 60 to 550 euros (PHP3,400 to PHP31,000)

“Germany’s attempt to award frontline workers, including our own, for their contributions during the pandemic is truly admirable. This would further motivate our healthcare personnel to provide the high-quality service that Filipinos are recognized for, especially in times of crisis “In a statement, he said.

Nursing personnel who worked in geriatric care for at least three months between November 1, 2020, and June 30, 2022, and who are still employed as of June 30, will benefit.

Support personnel, such as administrators and those in charge of building services, food, cleaning, reception and security services, gardening and grounds maintenance, laundry and logistics, are among the others who benefit.

The incentive is available to trainees in elderly care, other employees, volunteers, and participants in the ‘voluntary social year’ initiative.

The incentive will be distributed among the hospital’s employees by the owners.

According to German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, the idea has been sent to the health committee for review, and payments could begin as soon as June 30.

He went on to say that the incentive is simply the beginning of a larger plan to make nursing a more appealing profession.
